may be, some of this look correct, because work with ascii strings only, 
but not all.

for example,

var noquotes = value.offset (1).ndup ((uint) (value.len () - 2));

value.len() return number of characters;
ndup expected bytes;


Anywhere, at this moment vala break 100% support for utf8 strings in 
source code.
