I think you should :-) It's a design decision by slnunicode developpers. Strings
are meant to be cut with byte-oriented string functions (like unicode.ascii.sub,
unicode.latin1.sub, or string.sub). Again, this is documented in unitest from
the slnunicode distribution.

By the way, that's the whole point of the discussion: unicode.utf8.find returns
values with byte semantics...
