... or by "user perceived character" or by "word" or by
"line". I'm always on the fence with code points. Sure they
are the code points, but what does it mean in practice?
Is it valid to start a Unicode string with just a diacritical
mark? Does it make sense to split in the middle of Korean
symbols, effectively removing parts of the glyphs and
rendering them invalid?

Bearophile, what does your code _do_ with the dchar ranges?
How is it not rendered into a caricature of its own attempts
to support non-ASCII by the above ?
