Well, do they depend on it? _PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal seems to depend
only on Objects/unicodectype.c.

$ size Objects/unicode*.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  60398       0       0   60398    ebee Objects/unicodectype.o
 130440   13559    2208  146207   23b1f Objects/unicodeobject.o
