This would be highly broken. A program should never assert on
user-generated input.
g_return_if_fail() and friends are just for checking internal
consistency and for checking that you are passing the correct stuff to
public APIs.
In this case, however, it is up to the application to ensure that the
UTF8 string is valid.
