[Ironruby-core] MutableString encoding issue

[Tomas Matousek]

I think it's a bug :). Could you file it? If it's something that's blocking you I can look at it asap.

Stumbled on this when testing yaml.

>>> "\204"
=> "?"

While

irb(main):005:0>"\204"
=> "\204"

I believe Ruby string can hold arbitrary byte values, but as we are storing content as a string we are obviously losing all values that cannot be represented in default encoding. Tomas, what do you think?
