checking char[] for being valid utf8

Description

There should be an easy way to check whether a char[] is a valid utf8 string (one that doesn't start/end in the middle or contain invalid escape sequences). The closest I found is tango.text.convert.Utf.isValid(dchar), but decoding a char[] to dchar[] may already raise an exception. Additionally, a fault tolerant utf8 decoder would be a great addition for input that should be utf8, but is actually latin1 or similar (web pages, for example). (Should I open another ticket for that?)

I think this sounds like a valid request.

As for the fault tolerant decoder - what would it decode from? latin1? But yes, it should probably be its own ticket.
