An alternative to lpeg.P(N) which matches N UTF-8 encoded code points
instead of octets. Similarly, alternatives to lpeg.R and lpeg.S that deal
with code points instead of octets. Maybe lpeg.uP and .uS and .uR ?
Perhaps there should be a .uB as well. I would prefer this to a "unicode
mode" which changes the behaviour of the existing funcctions.
