Maybe we should do something like this: If the input is too long, we
throw an Exception. If it's empty, we return an empty string. If it's
not present, we return null. (Equivalent with byte arrays.)
The best way would be to add new methods for that and deprecate the old
ones so that we can remove them at some point in the future, saying "we
told you so." :)
