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

90 //! This class provides a simple wrapper to a std::string that can be encoded
91 //! as UTF-8. The ustring::utf() member specifies if the given string is UTF-8
92 //! encoded. ustrings default to specifying UTF-8 encoding.

100 This does not subclass std::string, because std::string was intended to be a
101 final class. For instance, it does not have a virtual destructor.
