What do you think about this approach? Do you have a better idea?

I vote for .by!char to be the default.

The problem here is this would also lead to very confusing behavior for newcomers, e.g.

```
"ä".split.join("|") == �|�
```

Therefore it shouldn't compile at all, but

rcstring("ä")[].split("|")

or

rcstring("ä").byCodePoint.split("|")
