I read this as "*character* n1 through *character* n2", right?
Alas, no -- I'm interested in byte n1 through byte n2. This is because the
protocol I am working with uses byte offsets. substr() works like a charm as
long as 1 char = 1 byte, but in utf8 it breaks down.
So given a string of utf8 data $x I want to be able to extract bytes 3 - 12 from
it...not characters :(
