Hmm. I was about to say "Can you just do a quick collections.Counter() of the string widths in 3.3, as an easy way of seeing which ones use BMP or higher characters", but I can't find a simple way to query a string's width. Can't see it as a method of the string object, nor in the string or sys modules. It ought to be easy enough at the C level - just look up the two bits representing 'kind' - but I've not found it exposed to Python. Is there anything?
