    Is that a proven technique? I'd say not. The flag would only be valid for as
    long as the string is not changed. You would still be running the validation
    on the entire string each time you would change or append anything. And as
    such technique is not widely accepted, there would be re-validations each
    time data would cross API boundaries.
