Not sure why it took me so long realizing the potential here. Latest 
bleeding-jumbo now supports using UTF-32 in external mode. To enable it, 
simply set "utf32 = 1" in the external mode's init() function and then 
code like the above will work fine. The word will be encoded to whatever 
target encoding is in use.

The dumb16/32 and repeats16/32 modes were updated to use this feature 
(instead of converting in their filter function) and got a 4x boost.
