Currently the standard library operates at code point level even
though inside it may choose to use code units when admissible. Leaving
such a decision to the library seems like a wise thing to do.
But how is the user supposed to know without being a core contributor to

Misunderstanding. All examples work properly today because of
autodecoding. -- Andrei
They only work "properly" if you define "properly" as "in terms of code
points". But working in terms of code points is usually wrong. If you
want to count "characters", you need to work with graphemes.
