I have no idea what you're talking about. Rust rarely does auto- anything, and certainly does not decode (or transcode) strings without an explicit request by the developer: Rust strings are not inherently iterable. As developer, you specifically request an iterable on code units or code points (or grapheme clusters or words through https://unicode-rs.github.io/unicode-segmentation)

I see, thanks for the clarification - looks like I mis-extrapolated from your comment.
