Wouldn't be simpler and more effective this other path?

1) keep current string functions as they are (i.e. byte-oriented) and
keep "abusers" abusing (and happy)
2) provide new utf8/cursor-oriented functions where needed (e.g.
utf8-string-ref but not utf8-string-append)

It's the same thing - the module system can let you

rename whichever way you prefer.  I prefer strings to

be strings and bytevectors to be bytevectors.
