  Note this is not a random access iterator but a bidirectional one, since all
  index operations need to iterate over the UTF-8 data.  Use std::advance() to
  move to a certain position.
  <p>
  A writeable iterator isn't provided because:  The number of bytes of the old
  UTF-8 character and the new one to write could be different. Therefore, any
  write operation would invalidate all other iterators pointing into the same
  string.
