Historically this was used to load utf8_heavy.pl before calling the real functions but now that utf8_heavy.pl is no longer a thing it doesn't serve any purpose. The error message upon calling an unknown sub changes by one character since it now comes from perl proper rather than a hand-rolled one in utf8.pm. I've added a comment, modeled on the one in builtin.pm, to explain where the subs are actually defined.
