The algorithms that Unicode defines are all in terms of code points, not
encoded forms, I would generally prefer to see the algorithms deal with
code points only, perhaps generic on convertible to a char32_t than to have
to worry about decoding issues in the middle of an algorithm. Replacement
character policy should be in a small number of places, for example in the
decoders for utf16BE etc.
