I'm referring here to objections like jmf's, and also to threads like this:

http://mozilla.6506.n7.nabble.com/Flexible-String-Representation-full-Unicode-for-ES6-td267585.html

According to the ECMAScript people, UTF-16 and exposing surrogates to
the application is a critical feature to be maintained. I disagree.
But it's not my language, so I'm stuck with it. (I ended up writing a
little wrapper function in C that detects unpaired surrogates, but
that still doesn't deal with the possibility that character indexing
can create a new character that was never there to start with.)
