That might make sense. (I assume you mean "Unicode scalar value"
rather than "code point". I checked http://www.unicode.org/glossary/ )

The goal would be to permit at least UTF=8 and UTF-16 internal
representations. (Other representations should also be allowed,
but might be less useful.) The O(1) functions would get and set
the 8-bit or 16-bit values.
