Oops, perhaps I was a bit too fast here. I had another look at
GSTextStorage and this class already implements classForPortCoder and
replacementObjectForPortCoder. I think this is wrong and we should
remove these as well as the encoding method here, but we definitely
should wait for a statement from Richard on this subject as he
originally wrote this code and might know best whether it is still needed.
