Now's the time for that work to come out of the closet. Should I hold
off on the basic unification-Guido-style (discarding str and renaming
unicode to str, essentially) or can I start that now and will the new
work be able to build on top of that?
My recollection is that Larry said he could make it work with Unicode
with little difficulty -- I suspect he's either on vacation or ignoring
this thread, so I'm renaming and cc'ing him.
(Howdy folks. I wasn't reading the Python 3000 mailing list, but here I
am.)
The "lazy strings" patch can be adapted to Unicode strings, you bet.
And if it has a chance of going in I'm happy to do it. I'm guessing
there's more interest in the lazy concatenation than in the lazy slices,
so I'll file them as separate patches. Gimme, oh, two weeks.
Cheers,
