<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways
to set and fetch text from the document buffer. They work similarly
to the existing methods of the same name, except that they don't go
through the same string/unicode &lt;--&gt; wxString conversions. The &quot;Raw&quot;
methods will do no conversions at all and in a unicode build of
wxPython the strings will be in the utf-8 encoding and in an ansi
build no assumption is made about the encoding. The &quot;UTF8&quot; functions
will attempt to always get/set utf-8 text, which it will always be
able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on
the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current
encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)</p>
