Python3 is intrinsically tied to Unicode for string handling. Therefore, 
the Python programmer is forced to deal with it (in all but trivial 
cases), rather than given a choice.  So I don't understand how I can 
illustrate my point with Python code since Python won't let me deal with 
strings without also dealing with Unicode.
