Now that recently every standard seemed to agree that UTF-8 uses at most 4
(and not 6) bytes and the highest valid Unicode value is U+1FFFFF, I wonder
whether the stress test should be updated, too. As far as I understand, the
preferred new behavior for a former 5 or 6 byte long UTF-8 sequence is to
emit 5 or 6 replacement character, since the first byte is invalid, and
subsequent bytes are unexpected continuation bytes.
