Sorry, I read too fast. Maybe, a reference "see also vim9-gotchas" might
be added under vim9-differences, which seems to me the obvious place to
go (and probably easier to search than "gotchas").
Btw, despite the change having caused me some headache debugging one of
my scripts, I think that it makes a lot of sense for a text editor
scripting language to index strings by characters, so I welcome the
change!
Life.
