I think that accessing characters by index is _probably_ a code smell in most places, especially if that string may contain arbitrary UTF-8.

  Accessing string content by arbitrary indices is probably an error. Accessing string content by indices you got from previous lookups is useful for a number of situations.

    If you have an index from a previous lookup, that can be a byte index.

    You're right to the degree that people probably aren't using P6. :)
