(read_from_string_index_byte): New variable. (read_from_string_index): Now counts characters. (readchar, unreadchar, Fread_from_string): Changed accordingly. (readchar): Read a multibyte char all at once from a buffer, marker or string. (unreadchar): Unread a multibyte char all at once. (read1): Properly handle non-escaped multibyte chars. They force a string to be multibyte. When reading direct from a file, any multibyte sequence means a multibyte string. Insist on MAX_LENGTH_OF_MULTI_BYTE_FORM bytes when checking for read_buffer full; this way need not check specially for multibyte.
