You've missed out a half a dozen characters needed by Turkish or
Hungarian, and completely missed the point that the Latin script is
*NOT SUFFICIENT* for Python. If you want to argue that we should
restrict the world to 256 characters, go blog somewhere and let people
ignore you there, rather than ignoring you here. Unicode is here to
stay.
