-- Backend-dependent string iteration type,
-- parameterised by the string that it iterates over.
--
-- Beware: the index is checked only up to definitional equality.
-- In theory, you could run `decEq` on two strings
-- with the same content but allocated in different memory locations
-- and use the obtained Refl to coerce iterators between them.
--
-- The strictly correct solution is to make the iterators independent
-- from the exact memory location of the string given to `uncons`.
-- (For example, byte offsets satisfy this requirement.)

-- because for many backends, StringIterator can be simply an integer
