[I18n-sig] thinking of CJK codec, some questions

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Just a few comments about the design (don't have any knowledge
about Asian encodings):

1. Keep large mapping tables in single automatically generated C
   modules that export a lookup object (ones that define __getitem__).
   These could also be generated using some perfect hash table
   generator, BTW, to reduce memory consumption.

2. Write small special encoders/decoders that take the lookup
   table objects as argument.

3. Glue both together using Python code -- forget about the
   PyCObject idea :-) ... it causes too many problems when the import
   fails.
