Sorry! I have written codepoints here when I was thinking codeunits! Use 
codeunits rather than codepoints as they are a fixed number of bytes (2). 
Codepoints may be 2 or 4 bytes so there is a cost in figuring out the number of 
codepoints or the exact byte codepoint x refers to. So for chunk expressions on 
unicode strings use `codeunit x to y`.
