  No, it's really on purpose. The goal is to minimize string allocations,
if the argument passed is an NCName, then no new string will be allocated.
The client code might be slightly more complex as a result but string
allocations and freeing is really very costly, so I try to avoid it as
much as possible, that's why I designed the function that way.
