[issue6988] shlex.split() converts unicode input to UCS-4 output with varying byte order

(Presented this way, "my opinion" becomes difficult to stand...
OTOH the docs say that the module does not support Unicode, so it's not
strictly a bug)
http://docs.python.org/library/shlex.html

Yes, shlex could be improved and encode unicode strings to ascii.

resolution: wont fix ->
