Python3 is intrinsically tied to Unicode for string handling. Therefore,
the Python programmer is forced to deal with it (in all but trivial
cases), rather than given a choice. So I don't understand how I can
illustrate my point with Python code since Python won't let me deal with
strings without also dealing with Unicode.
