Feature #6322: Remove iconv

• Status: Closed

[drbrain (Eric Hodel)]

Currently when you require 'iconv' it reports a warning:

$ ruby -v -r iconv -e 0
ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16 revision 34643) [x86_64-darwin11.3.0]
[…]:in `require': iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.

We should remove iconv since we have String#encode now.

I'm neutral now.
