Actually, isn't this one of those places where we'd want to do preemptive UTF-8 validation before putting bytes in a string? I think we decided that if we want to at least make autodecoding nothrow, then we need to enforce that string types contain only valid UTF-8, as anything else is an error.

Yeah, I don't think we decided we didn't want to do this, either... it seems to keep coming up from time to time, along with the general autodecoding discussions.
