I'm expecting that the virtual, internal representation will not
be in a UTF but will simply be an array of codepoints. Manipulating
UTF8 internally is horrible because it's a variable length encoding,
so you need to keep track of where you are both in terms of characters
and bytes. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
