Hello list,
Currently, if using Neko UTF8 API, iteration over a UTF8 string will
be slow as it is only possible as smth like
for (index in 0...neko.Utf8.length(s)) {
var char = neko.Utf8.charAt(index);
}
this takes n^2 operations where n is the string length since each
charAt() call has to go through all the previous part of string
looking for the correct character.
Is there any way to make an Utf8 iterator - it can look like
for (char in neko.Utf8.chars(s)) {
// do whatever you like
}
and the iterator would just advance each time, not go through all
the string - this will make it linear of string length, which is
normal practice.
