I mentioned it as an alternative during the '393 discussion. I more than half agree that the FSR is the better choice for CPython, which had no particular attachment to UTF-16 in the way that I think Jython, for instance, does.
Yes, I remember. I thing that hybrid FSR-UTF16 (like FSR, but UTF-16 is used instead of UCS4) is the better choice for CPython. I suppose that with populating emoticons and other icon characters in nearest 5 or 10 years, even English text will often contain astral characters. And spending 4 bytes per character if long text contains one astral character looks too prodigally.
