Correction: only utf-8 and utf-16 detection is automatic. latin-1 needs 
explicit arguments '-E latin-1' passed to rg.

The official recommended workaround is to use a --pre flag which is 
similar to what Stephen did originally by inserting 'iconv ...' in the 
shell command string: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/746

I suppose if we really wanted, we could insert some custom program that 
chooses what to 'iconv' with, but that would be slower, of course. But 
it could work with Grep, too.
