Should I always validate text from files manually with

Or should I memorize which functions throw, then validate
manually whenever I call the non-throwing UTF functions? What
is the pattern behind what throws and what asserts false?
If you expect file with malformed utf that can cause you trouble
and want to handle it gracefully, pass its content through
validator and catch exception from validator. Functions working
with strings usually assume valid utf and can behave incorrectly
on malformed utf.
