Also, is there any use in trying to get the difference into the type system, e.g. by using some kind of wrapper over std::string that gives it a distinct "utf-8" type?

I would love to see something like this because as things stand it is far too easy to forget that narrow strings (and wide strings for that matter) aren't all alike and often need converting even when the character width doesn't change.
