I see a hole here. How about UTF-8 representing a paired of surrogate
code point with two 3 octets sequence instead of an one octets UTF-8
sequence? It should be ill-formed since it is non-shortest form also,
right? But we really need to watch out the language used there so we
won't create new problem. I DO NOT want people think one 3 otects of
UTF-8 surrogate low or high is ill-formed but one 3 octets of UTF-8
surrogate high followed by a one 3 octets of UTF-8 surrogate low is legal.
