 To illustrate the use of the library, let's start with a small but complete program that opens a file containing UTF-8 encoded text, reads it line by line, checks each line for invalid UTF-8 byte sequences, and converts it to UTF-16 encoding and back to UTF-8:

 The library was designed to be:
 
 1. Generic: for better or worse, there are many C++ string classes out there, and the library should work with as many of them as possible.
-2. Portable: the library should be portable both accross different platforms and compilers. The only non-portable code is a small section that declares unsigned integers of different sizes: three typedefs. They can be changed by the users of the library if they don't match their platform. The default setting should work for Windows (both 32 and 64 bit), and most 32 bit and 64 bit Unix derivatives. Support for post C++03 language features is included for modern compilers at API level only, so the library should work even with pretty old compilers.

 4. Unintrusive: avoid forcing any particular design or even programming style on the user. This is a library, not a framework.
 
 #### Alternatives
 
 In case you want to look into other means of working with UTF-8 strings from C++, here is the list of solutions I am aware of:
 
-1. [ICU Library](https://icu.sourceforge.net/). It is very powerful, complete, feature-rich, mature, and widely used. Also big, intrusive, non-generic, and doesn't play well with the Standard Library. I definitelly recommend looking at ICU even if you don't plan to use it.

 2. C++11 language and library features. Still far from complete, and not easy to use.
 3. [Glib::ustring](https://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/ch03s04.html). A class specifically made to work with UTF-8 strings, and also feel like `std::string`. If you prefer to have yet another string class in your code, it may be worth a look. Be aware of the licensing issues, though.
 4. Platform dependent solutions: Windows and POSIX have functions to convert strings from one encoding to another. That is only a subset of what my library offers, but if that is all you need it may be good enough.

 This function is used to find the length (in code points) of a UTF-8 encoded string. The reason it is called _distance_, rather than, say, _length_ is mainly because developers are used that _length_ is an O(1) function. Computing the length of an UTF-8 string is a linear operation, and it looked better to model it after `std::distance` algorithm.
