[New-bugs-announce] [issue1071] unicode.translate() doesn't error out on invalid translation table

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl:

While it's documented that unicode.translate()s table maps ordinals to
strings/ordinals/None, if you give a unicode key in the table it will
just be ignored. This is quite surprising.
