At last, I can take a crack at this, now that Christmas is over.  Just 
double-checking:

   1. I know you want it for what are currently "unicode strings"
      (Objects/unicodeobject.c).  Do you /also/ want it for single-byte
      strings (Objects/stringobject.c)?
   2. I should generate my diffs against
      http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/p3yk ?

Cheers,
