Returns a pointer to the newly-created string, and sets C<len> to
reflect the new length.

-Returns true if first C<len> bytes of the given string form a valid UTF8
-string, false otherwise. Note that 'a valid UTF8 string' does not mean
-'a string that contains UTF8' because a valid ASCII string is a valid
-UTF8 string.
