It would be nice if each method that handles characters throws
an error if there is an encoding problem. But this would make
the C implementations much longer and potentially a lot slower.

I think the right thing to do is to check encodings at crucial
points (e.g. when transcoding), and throw an exception there
(or do whatever requested if something else is requested).
