I have a funny dilemma as an ASCII user.  When I write
small-ish one-off scripts (category B), I often start
typing rapid fire, and there's a feature in vim that
if I hit just the wrong combination of keys, I get an
accented e, even though I intend to write unaccented
English.  This happens to me about once a month, and I
forget exactly what Python does when I try to run the
program where one identifier has the accented e, and a
later identifier doesn't.  

I'm not drawing any specific conclusion from this
anecdote about what to do in Py3k; I'm just pointing
out that ascii users can get flustered by non-ascii
characters, and sometimes it's purely accidental that
we introduce them to our code.
