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.
