+1 to requiring an explicit byCodeUnit or whatever.
For every "obvious" way to interpret a string as a range, you can
find an application where the obvious code is surprisingly buggy.
(BTW, rcstring("ä").byCodePoint.split("|") is buggy for
characters made of multiple codepoints. Canonicalisation doesn't
fix it because many characters just don't have a single-codepoint
form.)
