Somewhere the change from string to utf8string must be made.
??? The "new string" paradigm is all about changing from utf8string (and
other such types) to string. Isn't it ?
No.
The big decision was to do either (a) multiple string types with
dedicated encoding
That's really new: every string type now has a fixed encoding.
or (b) a single string type with dynamic encoding.
That's a RawByteString.
Excessive use of RawByteString is at least as inefficient as using
Variant for everything :-(
