Current Python has the precedence that color/colour
are treated as two separate identifers, as are
metre/meter, despite the equivalence of "o" to "ou"
and "re" to "er," and I don't think that burns too
many people.  So I'm +1 on the unquoted third option,
that canonically equivalent, but differently encoded,
Unicode characters are allowed yet treated as
different.

Am I stretching the analogy too far?
