You can compare with some benchmark what the difference is.  I would
think that enc_utf8 is cached and the choice between utfc_ptr2len() and
mb_ptr2len() doesn't make a measurable difference.  Not worth for
duplicating the loop.

AFAIK there is no encoding where a character with a first byte below
0x80 takes more than one byte.
