Yeah, I wasn't sure about this, offline discussion tentatively concluded we wanted an assert, but I'm happy to switch to something else.

We don't validate the code on the way in, so strings are "bytes of presumed-UTF8". This is usually not a big pain actually. But we could/should certainly make the JSON parser validate the UTF-8. (If we want to go this route, D45753 should be resolved first).

There's two ways the assertion could fire: the code is invalid UTF-8, or there's a bug in the unicode logic here. I thought the latter was more likely at least in the short-term :) and this is the least invasive way to catch it. And if a developer build (assert-enabled) crashes because an editor feeds it invalid bytes, then that's probably better than doing nothing (though not as good as catching the error earlier).
