Then look at the broken behaviour that Python, up until now, shared
with Javascript and various other languages, in which a one-character
string appears as two characters, and slicing and splicing strings can
split surrogates apart. The new rule is simple: One Unicode codepoint
takes up the space of one character. Anything else is mindbogglingly
counterintuitive.
