That's great! I am working on a unit test for the check_utf8_before_libidn
branch that Ray pointed me at. Ray's function is short and sweet, and as
far as I can tell after review and initial testing, perfectly implements
the constraints enumerated in Table 3-7, Well-Formed UTF-8 Byte Sequences
in v7 of the Unicode standard.
ETA for pull request: maybe tomorrow evening UTC-1100, when I'm done flying.
