[issue12729] Python lib re cannot handle Unicode properly due to narrow/wide bug

No good news on the Java front.  They do all kinds of things wrong.  
For example, they allow intermixed CESU-8 and UTF-8 in a real UTF-8 
input stream, which is illegal.  There's more they do wrong, including 
in their documentation, but I won't bore you with their errors.

I'm going to seek clarification on some matters here.
