I think the user of the streamable string has to do the checking, i.e., if getStream() is called, then whoever is reading said stream has to do it -- the StreamableString can't do it itself.

Well, the materialize() function could do it for those Item member functions that force materialization; but it's not clear whether even that's worth doing given the above.

Unless.... What if there were a utf8_streambuf that did validation as bytes were read?  I think that's doable (and I have time to implement it).
