Here is an idea for an implementation strategy for using UTF-8 orUTF-16 encoding of strings without breaking constant-time string-ref.Obviously R6RS should not require or assume this implementation, butit would be nice if it could be written to *allow* it.

A cool idea. Minor point: if you think of #\partial as "filler", thenconsider calling it #\filler instead.
