Even if I hate the MBCS encoding, because it replaces undecodable characters by similar glyphs by default, I'm not certain that it is a good idea to drop the bytes API. Can it be a problem to port programs from Python2 to Python3? Do major Python2 programs/libraries rely on the bytes API? > I think we can simplify the code hugely.
