The is_utf8() also seem wrong to me. I believe that the SV invariant
should be that a string marked with the UTF8 flag should not contain
illegal UTF8 sequences. Why is it not so?
I'm being paranoid. Keeps me alive.
Being paranoid is a good way to expose bugs.
If we after some perl operation end up with a string where the UTF8
flag is turned on and where the bytes do not represent a properly
encoded sequence, then _that_ is a bug and should be fixed.
True or false?
