Pay no attention to wxjmfauth, he is our resident troll who is obsessed with
Python's Unicode implementation.

When he says "make it crash", he means "raise an exception", which is
absolutely trivial. We can all make Python raise an exception in a fraction
of a second:

1/0

will do it. Or if you prefer to stick to unicode:

u'£'.encode('ascii')


wxjmfauth's obsession started with an alpha release of Python 3.3 that had a
small performance decrease for some operations on non-ASCII characters
under some circumstances. He has taken this tiny decrease in performance as
proof of some grand conspiracy that the Python developers hate non-English
speaking Europeans (he never seems to care about Asians or other non-Latin
based characters, only French and other European ones) and that this small
performance decrease shows that Python can't do Unicode.

I think that is fair to say that he is what the English call "a nutter".
