I propose to add a deprecation pragma to the partial function Data.Text.decodeUtf8.
I'm not terribly open to adding a pragma for this, I'm afraid. Its documentation already clearly states that it will throw an exception. I understand that developers often fail to read documentation, but I don't want to train them to also ignore compiler output because they get permanent warnings that they can't suppress. I do of course agree that in hindsight, it would have been best to provide a safer function with this name.
