| invalid utf sequences, aren't there several possible
| utf sequences that can validly map to the same character?

I think only the shortest such sequence is supposed to be allowed, so
maybe calling it an error is better than canonicalizing.  On the other
hand, Tcl uses a multibyte encoding of \0 to handle embedded nuls.
That seems like a useful hack.
