Probably because, while I can imagine u'whatever'.translate using a
256-wide table (and raising exceptions for other the rest), I have
more problems imagining the size of the table for a UCS-4 unicode
setup (32 bits per character). I suppose it could be done, but a
naïve program might be in for a big shock about memory consumption.
