Let me also convey some insider information from the Tcl world: the
upcoming 8.7 (I'll expect it next year) will have full Unicode support
(>BMP). Because of compatibility issues with the C API, this will be
done in the way that Tcl unicode strings are considered UTF-16 instead
of UCS-2. So adapting Tkinter should be relatively easy in the end, if
it passes UTF-8 strings, then there is zero change, if it passes
Tcl_UniChar, then these must be convrted to UTF-16.
