Indexing by bytes can be faster. But the difference is probably small,
the computation of the index probably matters more. You'll have to try
it out to know

1) indexing by bytes -> legacy
2) indexing by characters -> vim9script
Thank you for your answer.

Mmh, even strpart(), which is
Legacy Vim script:
let text = 'àbc'
echo text[2]
Result: 'b'
Vim 9 script:
const text = 'àbc'
echo text[2]
Result: 'c'
Is the different behavior (counting chars vs bytes?) intentional?
