Can you clarify what *YOU* mean by a polyfill? Because you're talking
about dependence on iconv/mbstring/icu which implies you want a polyfill
that does something other than what the original utf8_en/decode() functions
do, and those functions certainly do not need external dependencies.
They're really just not that complex.
