-See https://github.com/hunspell/hunspell/pull/521
-
-Fix chenc and its usages
-chenc was changing buffer it was passed to. This caused untrackable
-multiple conversions of token and possibly other variables.
-
-Change it to only return converted string
-
-Additionally logic extending dest buffer implicitly assumed that 0
-bytes are left in dest buffer. It's not necessarily the case when
-converting to UTF-8 as if result would be 2-byte sequence and only 1 byte
-is remaining you get E2BIG as well.
-
-This fixes the case of pipe (-a) in UTF-8 with KOI8-R dictionary.
