- “The UTF-8 decoding fast path for ASCII only characters was removed
and replaced with a memcpy if the entire string is ASCII.”
The fast path would still be useful for mostly-ASCII strings, which
are extremely common (unless UTF-8 has become a no-op?).
Is it really extremely common to have strings that are mostly-ASCII but
not completely ASCII?
Maybe not as "extremely common" as pure ASCII strings, but at least for
western European languages, "mostly ASCII" strings are very common indeed.
