Consider this code:

auto s1 = "\x80";  // No error.
auto s2 = "\x80"c; // No error.
auto s3 = "\x80"w; // Error: invalid UTF-8 sequence
auto s4 = "\x80"d; // Error: invalid UTF-8 sequence

When the user explicitly appends the c-postfix, I think for consistency's sake,
the string should be validated and invalid UTF-8 sequences should be rejected.

I think this could become very annoying, as strings are often invalid UTF-8
sequences while they are being constructed.

I'm not sure how it would, because I'm only talking about string literals.

So code like this would still work, of course:

auto s = "valid utf-8"c;
s ~= "invalid utf-8: \x80";
