Since some people still seem wary that repr() might return non-ascii results, perhaps we could also: 3. Add a builtin function named ascii() and a formatting code "%a" that both call repr() internally and then convert all non-ascii characters to \uXXXX escapes. 2to3 might even replace all occurrences of repr() by ascii(), to err on the safe side.
