You're actually talking about non-utf8-compliant-strings. "utf8-strings"
is a poor name for that.
Not quite - the new mechanism allows for non-utf8 strings to be 'encoded'
as a utf-8 string via an escaping mechanism. As such strings (and indeed
the entire script) is still utf-8 (except where current implementations
already violate that). Perhaps a better better capability name is
'string-escape'.
