Out of the nine tests, Python 3.3 passes six, with three tests being

I think Python is doing it correctly. If I want to operate on "clusters" I'll
normalize the string first.
Hrmm, well, after being educated ;) I think I may have to reverse my position. Given that not every cluster can be
normalized to a single code point perhaps Python is doing it the best possible way. On the other hand, we have a
uni*code* type, not a uni*char* type. Maybe 3.5 can have that. ;)
At any rate, definitely good to be aware of the issue.
