Mark: This issue is about StringIO only. I am not proposing any change to 
TextIOBase or how on-disk text files are handled.

I intend to propose a patch to make StringIO more liberal, but haven’t got 
around to it yet. Do you think it would be worthwhile? IMO it would make 
StringIO a fairly efficient mutable text buffer. The alternatives [list(str), 
array("u")] are slower and/or use more than 4 bytes per character.
