I agree, it's not a good design, but it's what's already there; I just want to 
ensure that it won't be removed without a deprecation cycle. My PR makes no 
changes to behaviour, only to documentation and tests.

This and issue 9969 have both been around for several years. A new tokenize API 
is clearly not at the top of anyone's priority list - and that's fine. I'd 
rather have *some* unicode API today than a promise of a nice unicode API in 
the future. And it doesn't preclude adding a better API later, it just means 
that the existing API would have to have a deprecation cycle.
