summary:     unicode fixes for numpy test (untested, hopefully not
breaking everything)

your broke everything ;-)


BTW, I still want Cython to let me specify in an easy way that a
string literal should match the one Python normally uses for
identifier...

For example:

np.arange(10, dtype=s'i')


Then s'i' literal whould be PyString in Py2 and PyUnicode in Py3... We
could even make this syntax sugar really strict and reject
non-pure-ASCII literals.

We cannot assume all Python packages out there (specially those
targeted for scientific users)  are unicode-aware... My numpy
installation (numpy-1.2.0 as packaged in Fedora 10) is a good
example...

Stefan, we really need this... IMHO this is a clear case where
practicality beats purity....
