 * Thanks to the :pep:`393`, some operations on Unicode strings has been optimized:
 
   * the memory footprint is divided by 2 to 4 depending on the text
+  * encode an ASCII string to UTF-8 doesn't need to encode characters anymore,
+    the UTF-8 representation is shared with the ASCII representation
   * getting a substring of a latin1 strings is 4 times faster
-  * TODO
