Ah. So you are on the Python 3 unicode support sucks bandwagon too?

Bet you guys have a whole lot of fun there. Rave parties, trashing,
getting mad at something. Sounds fun.

Over here, on the Python 3 unicode support is just fine bandwagon, we
aren't so lucky. Things are just going smoothly, so they don't let us
party. We spend most of our time writting applications that don't
crash at runtime on the user hands because Python 3 is not permissive
and does force us to write well-formed encoding protocols.

Many times I though jumping to your side. Like I said, it sounds more
fun. But really, wife and kids need to eat.
