-- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- ALL FUNCTIONS ARE UNSAFE: THEY ASSUME VALID UTF8 INPUT
-- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- Generic for iterator.
--
-- Arguments:
-- s ... The utf8 string.
-- i ... Last byte of the previous codepoint.
--
-- Returns:
-- k ... Number of the *last* byte of the codepoint.
-- c ... The utf8 codepoint (character).
-- n ... Width/number of bytes of the codepoint.

-- determine width of the codepoint by counting the number of set bits in the first byte
-- warning: there is no validation of the following bytes!
if b >= 0xc0 and b <= 0xdf then nbytes = 2 -- 1100 0000 to 1101 1111
elseif b >= 0xe0 and b <= 0xef then nbytes = 3 -- 1110 0000 to 1110 1111
elseif b >= 0xf0 and b <= 0xf7 then nbytes = 4 -- 1111 0000 to 1111 0111
elseif b >= 0xf8 and b <= 0xfb then nbytes = 5 -- 1111 1000 to 1111 1011
elseif b >= 0xfc and b <= 0xfd then nbytes = 6 -- 1111 1100 to 1111 1101

-- Returns:
