+% When unicode sends its codepoints, they're not
+% sending their best. They're not sending ASCII.
+% They're not sending ASCII. They're sending integers
+% that have lots of problems, and they're bringing
+% those problems with us. They're bringing diacritics.
+% They're bringing non-idempotent lowercasing.  They're
+% bringing graphemes that don't correspond bijectively
+% with printable characters. They're bringing RTL.
+% They're bringing invisible characters.  They're
+% bringing characters that draw outside the character
+% boundary.  They're bringing variable-width
+% whitespace. They're bringing control characters.
+% They're bringing emojis.
+%
+% And some, I assume, are good characters.
+%
+% `SrcStr' is a unicode NFC list, not an ordinary
+% string. you think a string is a list of codepoints.
+%
+% NOOOOO.
+%
+% See it's different, because that's why.
+%
+% This is the cost of diversity, folks.
