I suggest posting some examples illustrating how that member function
would be used in some quasi-real world use cases and how useful
diagnostics or error recovery might be facilitated. I don't think we
have a strong collective understanding of what is really useful or
necessary in this regard. It might be useful to search github or other
source code repositories for uses of iconv(), ICU (ucnv_fromUChars() and
ucnv_toUChars()), MultiByteToWideChar(), or other more Unicode specific
transcoding utilities.
