I'm in the process of summarizing the dicussion on the bytes object
and an idea just occured to me. Imagine that I want to write code
that deals with strings and I want to be maximally compatible with
P3k. It would be nice if I could add:
from __future__ import unicode_strings
and have string literals without a 'u' prefix become unicode
instances. I'm not sure how tricky the implementation would be but
it seems like a useful feature.
An even crazier idea is to have that import change 'str' to be
an alias for 'unicode'.
