That and methods to safely iterate and slice strings by codepoint.  Java
supports that via String.codePointCount / String.codePointAt /
String.codePointBefore / String.offsetByCodepoints.  Maybe not on the
unicode/str object itself but as part of unicodedata that would make sense
for applications that have to deal with unicode on that level.
