You don't need one, since you can use `.chars().nth()` (indexing a string needs you to iterate over it anyway, because utf8). Though I do feel that having a direct get() API would be nice I have seen quite a bit of regular `[]` indexing, however it's almost always in very obvious situations, and most of the places where you might index in C/++ (iteration, or with a bounds check) I've seen people using iterators or the monadic way. But yeah, it's not that unidiomatic. It's still used a lot, just not to the extent it's used elsewhere. (For example, we have thrice as much indexing in our DOM binding generation python code (`components/script/dom/bindings/codegen`) in Servo than we do in all of the non-test rust files (`components/`) in the main repo combined)
