Checks if a single character forms a valid code point.

When standing alone, some characters are invalid code points. For
example the `wchar` `0xD800` is a so called high surrogate, which can
only be interpreted together with a low surrogate following it. As a
standalone character it is considered invalid.

See $(LINK2 http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode13.0.0/,
Unicode Standard, D90, D91 and D92) for more details.

    Calculate the length of the UTF sequence starting at `index`
    in `str`.

    Params:
        str = $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives)
        of UTF code units. Must be random access if `index` is passed
        index = starting index of UTF sequence (default: `0`)

    Returns:
        The number of code units in the UTF sequence. For UTF-8, this is a
        value between 1 and 4 (as per $(HTTP tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-3, RFC 3629$(COMMA) section 3)).
        For UTF-16, it is either 1 or 2. For UTF-32, it is always 1.

    Throws:
        May throw a `UTFException` if `str[index]` is not the start of a
        valid UTF sequence.

    Note:
        `stride` will only analyze the first `str[index]` element. It
        will not fully verify the validity of the UTF sequence, nor even verify
        the presence of the sequence: it will not actually guarantee that

/++
    Calculate the length of the UTF sequence ending one code unit before
    `index` in `str`.

    Params:
        str = bidirectional range of UTF code units. Must be random access if
        `index` is passed
        index = index one past end of UTF sequence (default: `str.length`)

    Returns:
        The number of code units in the UTF sequence. For UTF-8, this is a
        value between 1 and 4 (as per $(HTTP tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-3, RFC 3629$(COMMA) section 3)).
        For UTF-16, it is either 1 or 2. For UTF-32, it is always 1.

    Throws:
        May throw a `UTFException` if `str[index]` is not one past the
        end of a valid UTF sequence.

    Note:
        `strideBack` will only analyze the element at $(D str[index - 1])
        element. It will not fully verify the validity of the UTF sequence, nor
        even verify the presence of the sequence: it will not actually
        guarantee that $(D strideBack(str, index) <= index).

    of a UTF sequence, `toUCSindex` determines the number of UCS characters
    up to `index`. So, `index` is the index of a code unit at the
    beginning of a code point, and the return value is how many code points into
    the string that that code point is.

/* =================== toUTFz ======================= */

/++
    Returns a C-style zero-terminated string equivalent to `str`. `str`
    must not contain embedded `'\0'`'s as any C function will treat the first
    `'\0'` that it sees as the end of the string. If `str.empty` is
    `true`, then a string containing only `'\0'` is returned.

    `toUTFz` accepts any type of string and is templated on the type of
    character pointer that you wish to convert to. It will avoid allocating a
    new string if it can, but there's a decent chance that it will end up having
    to allocate a new string - particularly when dealing with character types
    other than `char`.

    $(RED Warning 1:) If the result of `toUTFz` equals `str.ptr`, then if
    anything alters the character one past the end of `str` (which is the
    `'\0'` character terminating the string), then the string won't be
    zero-terminated anymore. The most likely scenarios for that are if you
    append to `str` and no reallocation takes place or when `str` is a
    slice of a larger array, and you alter the character in the larger array
    which is one character past the end of `str`. Another case where it could
    occur would be if you had a mutable character array immediately after
    `str` in memory (for example, if they're member variables in a
    user-defined type with one declared right after the other) and that
    character array happened to start with `'\0'`. Such scenarios will never
    occur if you immediately use the zero-terminated string after calling
    `toUTFz` and the C function using it doesn't keep a reference to it.
    Also, they are unlikely to occur even if you save the zero-terminated string
    (the cases above would be among the few examples of where it could happen).
    However, if you save the zero-terminate string and want to be absolutely
    certain that the string stays zero-terminated, then simply append a
    `'\0'` to the string and use its `ptr` property rather than calling
    `toUTFz`.

    $(RED Warning 2:) When passing a character pointer to a C function, and the
    C function keeps it around for any reason, make sure that you keep a
    reference to it in your D code. Otherwise, it may go away during a garbage
    collection cycle and cause a nasty bug when the C code tries to use it.

/********************************************
 * Iterate a range of char, wchar, or dchars by code unit.
 *
 * The purpose is to bypass the special case decoding that
 * $(REF front, std,range,primitives) does to character arrays. As a result,
 * using ranges with `byCodeUnit` can be `nothrow` while
 * $(REF front, std,range,primitives) throws when it encounters invalid Unicode
 * sequences.
 *
 * A code unit is a building block of the UTF encodings. Generally, an
 * individual code unit does not represent what's perceived as a full
 * character (a.k.a. a grapheme cluster in Unicode terminology). Many characters
 * are encoded with multiple code units. For example, the UTF-8 code units for
 * `ø` are `0xC3 0xB8`. That means, an individual element of `byCodeUnit`
 * often does not form a character on its own. Attempting to treat it as
 * one while iterating over the resulting range will give nonsensical results.
 *
 * Params:
 *      r = an $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives)
 *      of characters (including strings) or a type that implicitly converts to a string type.
 * Returns:
 *      If `r` is not an auto-decodable string (i.e. a narrow string or a
 *      user-defined type that implicitly converts to a string type), then `r`
 *      is returned.
 *
 *      Otherwise, `r` is converted to its corresponding string type (if it's
 *      not already a string) and wrapped in a random-access range where the
 *      element encoding type of the string (its code unit) is the element type
 *      of the range, and that range returned. The range has slicing.
 *
 *      If `r` is quirky enough to be a struct or class which is an input range
 *      of characters on its own (i.e. it has the input range API as member
 *      functions), $(I and) it's implicitly convertible to a string type, then
 *      `r` is returned, and no implicit conversion takes place.
 *
 *      If `r` is wrapped in a new range, then that range has a `source`
 *      property for returning the string that's currently contained within that
 *      range.
 *
 * See_Also:
 *      Refer to the $(MREF std, uni) docs for a reference on Unicode
 *      terminology.
 *
 *      For a range that iterates by grapheme cluster (written character) see
 *      $(REF byGrapheme, std,uni).

/****************************
 * Iterate an $(REF_ALTTEXT input range, isInputRange, std,range,primitives)
 * of characters by char type `C` by encoding the elements of the range.
 *
 * UTF sequences that cannot be converted to the specified encoding are either
 * replaced by U+FFFD per "5.22 Best Practice for U+FFFD Substitution"
 * of the Unicode Standard 6.2 or result in a thrown UTFException.
 *  Hence byUTF is not symmetric.
 * This algorithm is lazy, and does not allocate memory.
 * `@nogc`, `pure`-ity, `nothrow`, and `@safe`-ty are inferred from the
 * `r` parameter.
 *
 * Params:
 *      C = `char`, `wchar`, or `dchar`
 *      useReplacementDchar = UseReplacementDchar.yes means replace invalid UTF with `replacementDchar`,
 *                            UseReplacementDchar.no means throw `UTFException` for invalid UTF
 *
 * Throws:
 *      `UTFException` if invalid UTF sequence and `useReplacementDchar` is set to `UseReplacementDchar.no`
 *
 * GC:
 *      Does not use GC if `useReplacementDchar` is set to `UseReplacementDchar.yes`
 *
 * Returns:
 *      A bidirectional range if `R` is a bidirectional range and not auto-decodable,
 *      as defined by $(REF isAutodecodableString, std, traits).
 *
 *      A forward range if `R` is a forward range and not auto-decodable.
 *
 *      Or, if `R` is a range and it is auto-decodable and
 *      `is(ElementEncodingType!typeof(r) == C)`, then the range is passed
 *      to $(LREF byCodeUnit).
 *
 *      Otherwise, an input range of characters.
