Description
Hi guys !
A quick idea for the next major version :
String#size => bytes length
String#length => chars length
Could this be a good move or too much BC break ?

It would probably cause a lot of breakage.
More importantly, why would it be an improvement? What's wrong with using String#bytesize
in the rare case where you actually want the byte length?

-1, #size is good enough.

Why size
in bytes and length
in chars, not vice versa?

Rejected. It's too confusing.
