[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

But there are probably working usages with unicode strings out there. For example, I've seen code like struct.pack('<6sHHBBB', 'GIF87a', ...)
Do you suggest to make this 3.1 code stop working in 3.2?

In any case, the 'c' format should probably be changed as well.
