Actually, as far as I can see, the renaming is for importing, not for
exporting.  utf8 doesn't export `byte-string-length'.  So, if you want
`byte-string-length' available as the old `string-length', you can pick
it from scheme:

    (import utf8)
    (import (rename scheme (string-length byte-string-length)))

Hope it helps.

Best wishes.
