Is this a good idea?  Consing a string when we process input increases
GC pressure, and what issues does this change solve as a
counter-weight for that disadvantage?  Is g_utf8_to_ucs4 a problematic
API or something?  If so, we could use our own implementation
instead.  But in general, decoding UTF-8 encoded C string is better
done without consing a string and then using the coding.c stuff.
After all, if the original string is 100% guaranteed to be in UTF-8,
the decoding is almost trivial.
