In which case is dumb search-and-replace of tvb_get_string with
tvb_get_string_enc and ENC_ASCII an easy way to make (part of) the API
transition?

Did somebody say that had been done or suggest that it be done?

I thought it was kind of implied when you wrote "We should also
probably audit all calls to tvb_get_string() and tvb_get_stringz() in
dissectors and change them to tvb_get_string_enc() with the
appropriate encoding."

If tvb_get_string() behaves identically to tvb_get_string_enc(...
ENC_ASCII) then there doesn't seem much point in having both.
