For reference, a grep in py3k/Doc reveals that there are currently exactly
23 lines mentioning UCS2 or UCS4 in the docs. Most are in the unicode part
of the c-api, and 6 are in what's new for 2.2:
c-api/arg.rst: Convert a null-terminated buffer of Unicode (UCS-2 or
UCS-4) data to a Python
c-api/arg.rst: Convert a Unicode (UCS-2 or UCS-4) data buffer and its
length to a Python
c-api/unicode.rst: for :c:type:`Py_UNICODE` and store Unicode values
internally as UCS2. It is also
c-api/unicode.rst: possible to build a UCS4 version of Python (most recent
Linux distributions come
c-api/unicode.rst: with UCS4 builds of Python). These builds then use a
32-bit type for
c-api/unicode.rst: :c:type:`Py_UNICODE` and store Unicode data internally as
UCS4. On platforms
c-api/unicode.rst: short` (UCS2) or :c:type:`unsigned long` (UCS4).

compatible. Please keep
