1707035 - Add utf-8 support to intl::NumberFormat format to parts

Status: NEW

(Core :: Internationalization, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Dan Minor [:dminor]]

Bug 1701695 added a utf-16 API for formatting numbers to parts to support SpiderMonkey. This bug tracks adding a utf-8 API as well.

This wasn't done as part of Bug 1701695 because there is not an immediate use for it, and converting the indices from fixed length utf-16 to variable length utf-8 seems like it might be error prone and time consuming to get right, and something we might be able to avoid completely if we switch to ICU4x anyway.

This is future work, not something we want to do as part of the unification project.
