I'm a Japanese, and I'm bothered for years! I maintained a patch to print
Japanese strings collect for a long time.
In Japan(and China, Korea and other lot of countries), most text data
are built with non-Latin characters. For example, my name 'Atsuo
Ishimoto' is written in four Kanji characters("\u77f3\u672c\u6566\u592b"),
and my address 'Koshigaya city, Saitama' is also written in some
kanji characters.
Custom for-loop for debug works, but I definitely prefer Unicode-friendly
repr().
