LuaPlus does this, if anybody needs full implementation details.  Most is in
ltm.c, but there are a couple extra items in lvm.c, lstate.c/h and possibly
lbaselib.c, as I recall.  And, since LuaPlus also supports wide character
strings, the method of string access is identical, making my life much
easier:

s = "Hello"
print(s:len())
print(s:find("el"))

s = L"Hello"
print(s:len())
print(s:find(L"el"))
