Comment:

 This is too risky to do without alot of testing.

 Truncating is usually a better response to invalid utf8 because it is very
 hard to determine what the real cause of invalidity is and where it is
 safe to start parsing the bytestream again.

 Moving to future release until we have some detail tests for this.
