[svgwg] Consider adding a switch to control how Addresssable Characters are treated

nikosandronikos has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== Consider adding a switch to control how Addresssable Characters are
 treated ==
[Addressable 
characters](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#TermAddressableCharacter)
 are indexed by their UTF-16 code points due to backwards 
compatibility reasons.

It would be nice to have a switch to index by UTF-8 code points - 
either a global switch or one on each of the various methods of the 
SVG text interfaces.

It would also be good to be able to map to typographic characters / 
grapheme clusters? Is this feasible?
