Raising my hand, but the question might be who does character access
on _Unicode_ strings. I play with byte arrays all the time (sometimes
with embedded strings), but very rarely (but I do) use string slicing
against a Unicode string.

I am in the (unfortunate) position of dealing with many legacy binary
files, encoded into a wide variety of pieces and parts -- I use string
slicing, but more exactly I use byte array slicing (don't get me wrong
-- I want to keep a single String class).
