The point was that logically it would be an array lookup by index.

There's no need for any conditional construct here whatsoever.

You'll note it has already constructed a string in the right order to do that, but then copped out with the if-else.

True enough. On that note, I had a look at the language reference - there's arrays - but also this:

    (char_at s index)        # Get ASCII value at index (0-based)
    (string_from_char code)  # Create string from ASCII value

So, you can pluck a character... From an UTF-8 string? What if the rendering used multibyte characters?
