That's why a while ago I was considering convert a string from 
UTF-8 to UTF-32. UTF-32 is nice I don't understand when people 
say there are no any advantage to use it. Indexing is just 
possible. Memory size isn't much an issue.

I needed to extend support for UTF-8 in a program where I had 
some routines where I could move forward and backward very easily 
just indexing but using UTF-8 it isn't possible so I needed to 
make my own an iterator when I need to save a pointer instead of 
a index. In memory usage it isn't so bad since a size of that 
index is same as pointer but the structure of the program was a 
bit "ugly", a kind of "hack", IMHO.
