I think we could avoid all the instanceof checks by instead overriding 
some of these methods in UnicodeWriter. That's a lot cleaner and more 
obvious. I'd need to definalize some methods, but this is all internal, 
package-protected stuff so that's no big deal. That would also 
completely eliminate any possible performance impact on non-Unicode 
encodings since they would then use exactly the same code they're using 
now.
