Will this change the behavior of character groups in regular
expressions?  Would myString.match(/^.$/)[0].length ever have length
2?   Would it ever match a supplemental codepoint?

How would the below, which replaces orphaned surrogates with U+FFFD
when strings are viewed as sequences of UTF-16 code units behave?

myString.replace( /[\ud800-\udbff](?![\udc00-\uffff])/g, "\ufffd")
    .replace( /(^|[^\ud800-\udbff])([\udc00-\udffff])/g, "\ufffd")
