Herein-attached is an alternative fix. The code is a little less
straightforward, but it is supposed to be more efficient.
Frankly speaking, as indexes are not the main part of a document, I
don't think that there is any measurable performance difference, but I
like the idea to code it in a way that does not change at all anything
else than the UTF-8.
