-- This package provides support for Utf8 encoding of characters.
--
-- Characters whose code is less than 128 are encoded as is in the
-- Utf8_String. As a result, such a string is compatible with a standard
-- String whose characters are all standard ASCII (and contains no
-- extended ASCII characters).
-- In that, one of the beauties of UTF-8 (and UTF-16) is that there is no
-- overlap, as opposed to what happens with other encodings. If you search
-- for an ASCII character within a Utf8_String, using the standard string
-- string or array manipulation functions, you will only find that character,
-- and not part of a longer sequence that encodes another character.
-- As a result, all the standard string-manipulation functions will work
-- as is (note however that the 'Length attribute doesn't represent the
-- number of characters in the string, but the number of bytes).
--
-- However, since characters can be encoded on one to six bytes, this means
-- that traversing a string is not as efficient as with other encodings.
--
-- Also, this encoding is not subject to byte-ordering constraints, since this
-- is only a sequence of bytes. It is self-synchronizing, in that you can
-- start anywhere in the string and find a synchronization point easily.
