This is dated 2004. Basically, they considered several options, tried
out 4, and ended up sticking with char[] (sequences) as UTF-16 with char
= 16 bit code unit and added 32-bit Character(int) class for low-level
manipulation of code points.
I did not see the indexing problem mentioned. I get the impression that
they encourage sequence forward-backward iteration (cursor-based access)
rather than random-access indexing.
