Description:
------------
Include a notice that if no $encoding_list parameter is given, the function defaults to ASCII vs. UTF-8 detection only!

Reason: This behavior makes the default-state of the function quite useless - in my view. I guess, most people use it for ISO-8859-1 vs. UTF-8 detection. And I would have expected that the detection defaults to today's most common used charsets on the web!
