I'm trying to efficiently pickle a 'unicode' subclass. I'm
disappointed that it's not possible to be as efficient as the
built-in unicode class, even when using an extension c

I think it's essential to be able to *read* pickles generated by older

(which Python 2.x also understands) and only supporting the modern
APIs for customizing pickle writing.
I don't think classic class instances are necessaril
