cl-babel/babel — Issue #6: external-format unused?

As far as I can tell, only the encoding for external formats is actually used when converting to octets:

```lisp
CL-USER> (babel:string-to-octets "foo
bar
baz" :encoding (babel:make-external-format :ascii :eol-style :crlf))

=> #(102 111 111 10 98 97 114 10 98 97 122)
```

Am I misunderstanding how babel is meant to be used?
