If I say to_utf8() once more on it I expect to get a string containing
4 chars:
"\xC3\x82\xC2\xA9"
and I expect from_utf8() to go the other way.
Ahhh, no wonder we differed. My brain equates to_utf8(to_utf8()) with
to_utf8().
Your to_utf8() seems to be named after "turn-on-the-utf8-flag" which I
Nope. It's "convert-bytes-to-utf8-and-turn-on-the-utf8-flag".
Maybe my documentation of the functions is somehow bad and confusing?
think of as just an internal implementation detail. What if we change
the internal representation to be always UTF-32. Do you want to
rename your functions then?
No, why should I? They would still convert bytes they expect
not to be/to be utf8 to something that is/is not utf8.
