Current encodings in Utility Cmdlets:
It seems we can safely migrate to a common pattern "Unicode", "UTF7", "UTF8", "ASCII", "UTF32", "BigEndianUnicode", "Default", "OEM".
Format-Hex was converted from function to cmdlet. I believe we can enhance it.
Out-File. My understanding is that "Unknown" and "String" encodings is output encodings and don't be used as input encodings. So we can and should remove them from Out-File cmdlet.
