I'm proposing changing the error type of
String::from_utf8formcore::str::Utf8Errortoheapless::string::FromUtf8Error. This would mirror the error type ofstd::String::from_utf8(which isstd::string::FromUtf8Error). This is a breaking change.FromUtf8Errorhas the advantage that you can regain ownership over the data that you want to convert to UTF-8 in case of an error, which you currently lose in that case.The change would have made it possible for me in #639 to implement
into_stringwithout unsafe code.
