I like the name 'file_io_charset'. However, see this fictive example :

you are developing a Dancer App on Mac. The operating system has 'latin1' as
global charset, and your files are all in latin1. If you set the 'charset'
setting to 'UTF8', you'd want the files to continue being read as latin1,
but Dancer output UTF8. That behavior is quite nice.

So I would suggest that 'file_io_charset' defaults to nothing, so that
unless specified, we let the operating system take care of the files
charsets. But I like the 'file_io_charset' name :)
