This is what I thought, but everybody seems to side step the answer. Thanks Mattias for confirming this. Like I told Martin in one of my replies. In the last four years I have not needed indexing into a character array, and if I have to parse a string, it's normally sequential anyway, which is then easy to track each charter in UTF-8, even if multi-byte characters are used.
