As to why it doesn't call chars() for you, it doesn't want to make assumptions about what you mean.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html

String slices are always valid UTF-8.

What exactly does it mean to iterate over UTF-8 ? You can specify what you mean with a method.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.chars

char represents a Unicode Scalar Value

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.bytes

iterate through a string slice by byte

And by 'byte' they mean the code units, aka 8-bit octets. Rust terminology often makes a reasonable CHAR_BIT assumption.

There could be another approach.

Iteration over grapheme clusters... is not provided by Rust’s standard library, check crates.io

Thanks for the info! I will try to remember to mention this the next time we record an episode : )
