Well, as I've said on #darcs: I'm not a UTF expert, but it seems to me that 
since we only use 'encode', and since apparently 'encode' only operates on 
[Char]s and the IO functions which could give us Chars are runtime are not 
supposed to ever give us bad Chars, error handling isn't an issue. But I'm not 
sure of this which is why I was hoping for input for other people before I did 
anything more than just clear cruft out of UTF8.lhs.
