BTW: I do wonder why you think that fast indexing and slicing are not needed. Pretty much all text parsing relies on this heavily.
Not necessarily, it is often possible to use higher-level API (str.startswith, str.split, …) or regular expressions.
But: I also wrote that there probably need to be new APIs to fully remove the need for fast indexing on code points.
