I noticed that e.g. convert_1_to_0() (actually any conversion that goes
from wider to narrower) in stralloc.c just chops off the wider part instead
of actually leaving out the characters which cannot be represented in the
narrower string.
Is there are a reason why it is truncated instead of skipped? I'd presume
that actually omitting the characters which cannot be represented would be
more correct. Simply truncating them generates garbage.
And, subsequently, if everyone agrees to the above, can/should I fix this?
