The main work on utf8 transition is likely to be a pretty long-lived branch, but there are several preparatory changes, which improve development experience in general, and I'd like to merge them early, so that I do not spend time rebasing them.
When merging, please rebase, do not squash. Each commit is a separate, orthogonal change here, but raising 6 PRs seems an overkill.
