What if the patch required everything to be Unicode, meaning:

 * all programmers would have to become aware of Unicode to some extent
 * all code would suffer the (minior) performance penalty of encoding
and decoding all text

If we're not willing to make those two trade-offs, we'll have to
support both Unicode and bytestrings, and then we're potentially in a
whole different kind of hell that I've seen many systems go.

Unicode is a all-or-nothing thing.
