There is probably the need for a function alike to substr() which would
take a number of characters rather than bytes. It would be a very simple
wrapper around chr2ind(), but I think this is needed for convenience,
and to ensure English-speakers (booh! ;-) don't forget not everybody is
using ASCII, and rely on plain indexing.
