Hi,
the purpose of the change is not to prevent bugs that programmers can do
but to give the same scope for results from utf8() and local8Bit() as is
for results from latin1() and ascii().
At the same time, the goal was to make the change so that there is no
change in the public API.
The proposed change covers exactly these requirements. Nothing more,
nothing less.
Cheers
