I don't think it is so confusing since I think strncpy() expects ASCII
characters, and ASCII characters are obviously 1-byte sized; this is
even more true if you see there's a memcpy() function that is quite
the same as what strncpy() is. Then considering both strncpy() and
g_utf8_strncpy() takes the number of chars as the size argument fixes
confusing if using it with what it was designed for (respectively
ASCII and UTF-8).
And when computing UTF-8 strings, I think it is obvious that if
there's an utf8_* function, it does the same as the C's one does with
ASCII string, no?
