Maybe it got lost in translation, but I don't understand your point with
that.

Hmm, so if python used utf-8 internally to represent unicode strings
would not that punish *all* users (not just non-ascii users) since
searching a string for a certain character position requires an O(n)
operation? UTF-32 I could see (and indeed that's essentially what FSR
uses when necessary does it not?), but not utf-8 or utf-16.
