The string reference says:

"""Since a String has an underlying UTF-16 encoding, certain operations are
expensive, requiring iteration of the characters of the string. In
particular, size requires iteration of the whole string, and get(), span(),
and segment() require iteration from the beginning of the string to the
given index."""

The get and span operations appear to be equivalent to indexing and slicing.
