A small quibble: I'd like to see a benchmark of a 'u' function implemented in C.
Even if it was quite fast, I don't think such a function would bring
the same benefits as restoring support for u'' literals.

You claim that, but your argument doesn't actually support that claim
(or I fail to see the argument).

Python 2.6 code:
   this = u'that'

Python 3.3 code:
   this = u('that')

Not source compatible, not elegant. (Even though 2to3 could make this fix, it's still kinda ugly.)
