Comment (by pulkomandy):
ICU has the same "problem" as iconv: it needs explicit opening and closing
of the context. As mentioned in the previous comments, stateless
conversion is not possible, and a new API will be needed as the current
one doesn't allow deleting the state when done. The use of an int32 as a
state cookie is also not helpful, as we can't store a pointer to the state
there, at least on 64-bit platforms.
So, we should introduce a separate API to handle this in a more correct
way.
