Also, a couple comments on this draft: 1. The Python version uses quite a few GIO examples. In some cases I found different ways to do the same objective; in a few others, I just didn't or wasn't able to do them. 2. The unicode page is semi-weak, and I don't feel smart enough to do it justice. If someone else would like to take a stab at writing that page or $something_else, that'd be just great.
