Yes. I was contracted to design a proposal and then implement it
by a company you all know as host of Python development in recent
years. The project itself was initially founded by HP.

Using Fredrik Lundh's unicode type as code basis provided a quick
start, the path from there took some unexpected turns, but I think
in the end, we came up with an easy to use interface which goes
a long way in trying to integrate 8-bit strings and Unicode.
