Description

The code `string memory s = hex'c0a80101';` produces an error since `hex'c0a80101'` is not a valid UTF-8 sequence. The same value used in an array literal is accepted by compiler. For instance, following code compiles without any errors or warnings: `string[2] memory data = [hex'74000001', hex'c0a80101'];`. It should be fixed so that, array literals are validated to contain UTF-8 sequences during conversion to the array of strings.
