I suppose that's true. But what if they're not smart enough to figure out that better, different, way? I doubt you intend Python to be sort of the Rubik's cube of programming... And no, he didn't say why he wanted the ability to "represent a Unicode string as an array of 4-byte integers". Though I know he's doing something with the Deseret Alphabet, translating some early work on American Indian culture that was transcribed in that character set.
