Next, would such a change break any existing Python 2 code on Windows?
Yes it will. For instance the following code for counting characters in
a string:
f = [0] * (1 << 16)
for c in s:
f[ord(c)] += 1
I would like to qualify this statement.
Getting rid of the UTF-16 interface for the unicode class in Python 2 on
Windows will:
* not break any well-written code
* fix a lot of poorly written code.
(The above code snippet is not well-written code.)
