Thanks, I had alreay found that.

How can I do this in guile? A Google search didn't return any useful results 
(except a proposal from years ago).
In particular, I must only output the strings of the DOCINFO section as 
UTF-16BE... So, it can't be a port-specific setting, but only effective for one 
print command.
