In emacs-unicode-2, I changed `aset' as an experiment so
that storing a multibyte character in a unibyte string
causes that error.  This is mainly to avoid unexpected
unibyte->multibyte conversion of a string.

< (let ((foo (string-to-multibyte "foobar")))
<   (aset foo 0 ?\!!)) ; note the `!!' means the Chinese character I

should work.
