Yes—I was asking about the transcoding primitives here. Currently the call looks like one of these:

	let (remainder, errorCount) = UTF8.parseForward(bytes, repairingIllFormedSequences: false) { … }
	let (remainder, errorCount) = UTF8.parseForward(bytes, repairingIllFormedSequences: true) { … }

I'm saying, would it be clearer if it looked like this instead?

	let (remainder, errorCount) = UTF8.parseForward(bytes, ifIllFormed: .stop) { … }
	let (remainder, errorCount) = UTF8.parseForward(bytes, ifIllFormed: .repair) { … }
