+             
+             Make the UTF-8 decoding stricter and more verbose when
+             malformation happens.  This involved adding an argument
+             to utf8_to_uv_chk(), which involved changing its prototype,
+             and prefer STRLEN over I32 for the UTF-8 length, which as
+             a domino effect necessitated changing the prototypes of
+             scan_bin(), scan_oct(), scan_hex(), and reg_uni().
+             The stricter UTF-8 decoding checking uses Markus Kuhn's
+             UTF-8 Decode Stress Tester from
+             http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt
