Well, it is logical in the sense that iso-8859-1 is an identity
mapping in the 8-bit range.

Could perhaps make that an alias, or maybe "binary".

Yes, that's the point with it. It strips whitespace and comments,
leaving only variable entity values and results from tags. There are
also types "int", "float", "array", "mapping" and "any" that works the
same way. Those types are intended for larger chunks of code where you
want to use comments and whitespace only for source formatting, like
in any other language.
