To me, making (default) iteration deviate from indexing is anathema.

However, there is nothing wrong with providing a library function that
takes a string and returns an iterator that iterates over code points,
joining surrogate pairs as needed. You could even have one that
iterates over characters (I think Tom calls them graphemes), if that
is well-defined and useful.
