/**
* jQuery byteLimit

( function( $ ) {
/**
* Enforces a byte limit to a textbox, so that UTF-8 entries are counted as well, when, for example,
* a databae field has a byte limit rather than a character limit.
* Plugin rationale: Browser has native maxlength for number of characters, this plugin exists to
* limit number of bytes instead.
*
* Can be called with a custom limit (to use that limit instead of the maxlength attribute value),
* a filter function (in case the limit should apply to something other than the exact input value),
* or both. Order of arguments is important!
*
* @context {jQuery} Instance of jQuery for one or more input elements
* @param limit {Number} (optional) Limit to enforce, fallsback to maxLength-attribute,
* called with fetched value as argument.
* @param fn {Function} (optional) Function to call on the input string before assessing the length
* @return {jQuery} The context

// however the same check is still needed regardless of jQuery.

// some special keys won't be recognized (aka left arrow key).
// Backspace will be, so not big issue.
