As discussed at previous maintainers meetings.
A utf8 journey would go smoother without worrying about ancient GHCs.

Looks like a great start. Just one non-blocking question.

Do we want to merge that soon or should we rather wait so the next release (which has quite some stuff already) remains more widely compatible?

Feel free to release current master, if you feel motivated enough. I personally would not bother. Otherwise I need this PR merged early to start working on utf8 transition.
