I was speaking of the 4 different normalization forms for Unicode,
which can produce different code-point sequences. Since "strings" in
Python-3000 aren't really strings, but instead are immutable
code-point sequences, this means that any byte-to-string
transformation which doesn't specify this can produce different
strings from the same bytes without violating its constraints.
