Using charAt(), like I would normally do.

I'm writing library code (uri parsing, for example), so I'm stuck with
String, and can't tolerate an extra 2 iterations (one to zero out the
allocated array, and one to copy the char from the string, in addition to
iterating over the chars in the final array).
