Some quick thoughts --

I think we should do this.

We are, after all, perfectionists.

Not only do we want to show even more love toward the international
community, I just like the idea of passing Unicode strings everywhere.
It seems so clean.

The only big problem I see is that it could confuse the (unfortunately
large) mass of programmers who don't understand Unicode yet. That is a
big potential pitfall.

If we're going to do it, we should do it before 1.0, and we'd need
extensive tests.
