Sigh, this reminds me of the old quote about people spending a
bunch of time making more efficient what shouldn't be done at
all.
Validating UTF-8 is super common, most text protocols and files
these days would use it, other would have an option to do so.
I’d like our validateUtf to be fast, since right now we do
validation every time we decode string. And THAT is slow. Trying
to not validate on decode means most things should be validated
on input...
