Don't forget that Victor's still working on the design of PEP 540, so
it isn't ready for pronouncement yet.

Antoine's request was for me to update PEP *538* to eliminate the
"this will need to change if PEP 540 is accepted" aspects, and I think
your suggestion to make the "C.UTF-8 -> surrogateescape on standard
streams by default" behaviour independent of the locale coercion will
achieve that.

Cheers,
Nick.
