Hi all,
I'm writing a bunch of examples for perl 6 pleac and it seems rather
natural to expect $string.chars to return a list of unicode chars in
list context, however I can't find anything to confirm that. (The
other alternatives being split and unpack.)

The string "日本語" is probably represented internally as UTF-8, but that
should have no effect on what .chars returns, which should, indeed, be <日
I have to say I'm slightly confused too for some languages, especially
for syllabic alphabets. At the same time, I'm pretty clear for CJK,
Syllabaries, and alphabets, or at least I hope I'm clear (I guess I'm
about to find out), .chars just returns the right unicode level for
whatever the string c
