[I18n-sig] Pre-PEP: Proposed Python Character Model

I think it must be exactly vice versa. An agreement "in principle" is
worth nothing if it then turns out that an implementation is not
feasible, or would have undesirable side effects. That is how PEPs
work: you first work out all the details, get feedback from the
community, and *then* can ask for BDFL pronouncement.
