unexpected encoding

[siuying]

I noticed the strings in the unpacked data structures seems always use "ASCII-8BIT".

For example in following test case:

# encoding: utf-8
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding.default_external = "UTF-8"

describe "Encoding" do 
  it "should encode properly" do
    json = {"data"=> MessagePack.pack(["かんじ"]) }
    data = json["data"]
    data_unpacked = MessagePack.unpack(data)
    data_unpacked.first.encoding.name.should == "UTF-8"
  end
end

In MRI with msgpack-ruby it pass but in JRuby using msgpack-jruby it always returned "ASCII-8BIT" strings.

Thanks!

We released a version of the gem earlier today that lets you pass in encoding, but I guess that defaulting that to default_external would make a lot of sense.
