But that'd be wrong anyway. Now, we'd have an encoding that possibly
aliases to something else, and we don't know about it.

All these macros have as the basis for their use that you use *valid*
input.

If you really want some defensive programming on that front, then you
should make sure we detect the issue at compile time, rather than
silently changing the encoding.
