No, rather than the error check was on by default. Some people want it off 
as the default.

As far as Unicode strings are concerned, the question is a little 
different. Is it well defined behavior to create a string that does not 
meet the Unicode invariants? If so, can ordinary operations break 
invariants, or is such dangerous activity restricted to "experts only" 
functions?
