+  * Return fully-escaped string if utf8 conversion fails (Tim Wojtulewicz, Corelight)
+
+    This adds a new function for validating UTF-8 sequences by converting to
+    UTF-32. This allows us to also check for various blocks of codepointsi
+    that we consider invalid while checking for valid sequences in general.
