Literal/Legalistic answer:

An answer more in the spirit of what I am trying to say:
Idle3, Roy's example and in general all systems that are
python-centric but use components outside of python that are unicode-broken

IOW I would expect people (at least people with good faith) reading my

> bug-prone-system code...seemingly working code such as python 3...

to interpret that NOT as

"python 3 is seemingly working but actually broken"

But as

"Apps made with working system code (eg python3) can end up being broken
because of other non-working system code - eg mysql, java, javascript, windows-shell, and ultimately windows, linux"
