FWIW, I disagree.  You should check that either the string is unibyte
(AKA byte_size<0) or that it's ASCII-only (byte_size==size).

Forcing your users to (de|en)code explicitly before calling your
functions isn't making them jump through hoops: it's helping them have
the correct mental model of what "multibyte text" means.
