That seems like a much nicer solution than having parallel bytes/Unicode
APIs everywhere.

When the locale encoding is UTF-8, would UTF-8b also be used for the
command line decoding and environment variable encoding/decoding? (the
PEP currently only states that the encoding switch will be done for the
file system encoding - it is silent regarding the other two system
interfaces).

Cheers,
Nick.
