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?
True. But this principle should not be taken into extremes: otherwise
we should remove all !ptr tests in the perl core since there never are
null pointers, right? :-)
