The big problem you'll hit is figuring out how to use these strings.
Which string ops preserve the encoding? Even the following is
problematic:
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
name = 'Martin Löwis'
brokenpart = name[: 9]
Because brokenpart is not a correct utf-8 encoding of anything.
The problem is that there is no good way to propagate the
encoding without understanding the purpose of the operations
themselves.
