I'm not exactly clear when the '\uxxxx' characters get converted.  There 
isn't any conversion done in tokanize.c that I can see.  It's primarily 
only concerned with finding the beginning and ending of the string at that 
point.  It looks like everything between the beginning and end is just 
passed along "as is" and it's translated further later in the chain.

(I had said earlier tokanize.py,  meant tokanize.c)

I can do that.  :-)
