That would've been me. And yes... where the impact is low (*) we'll enable it 
unconditionally now.

Python relies on unicode being present, the default locale in stages is 
C.UTF-8, ... too many central parts of the system just assume it's there. 
You'll be assimilated, resistance is futile.

(*) In any case, if large libraries like ICU are needed for unicode support, 
we'll keep a useflag, but in that case the flag is called e.g. icu.
