Comment(by simonmar):
Are you planning to make `peekCString` and friends do decoding by default?
I have a horrible feeling that will break lots of things. I know it's what
the FFI spec requires, but since we've never done it, changing the
behaviour now could be surprising.
I've no objection to your proposal for unrepresentable chars, provided we
document it appropriately.
