Well, they kind of already did that by subtyping UTF_String from String, of=
 which it's not a subtype, it's just they are both arrays of 8-bit entities=
.

Am i wrong, should I just implement what I need on top of the standard lib =
and just use the UTF* types in my code? What about unbounded_utf_strings? J=
ust use the normal unbounded_string? It's not like it's going to be checkin=
g for it to be correct utf8 is it, but I can't write an iterator for that f=
rom outside the rts though.
