In CPython 3.3, indexing of str text string objects is always O(1) and 
it is always indexes and counts code points rather than code units. It 
was the latter for narrow builds in 3.2 and before. As a result, single 
character (code point) strings had a length of 2 rather than 1 for 
extended plane characters. 3.3 corrects this.
