Yes, I have to agree here. It seams that my understanding in the
Unicode discussions was plagued by the moto which was repeated to
death in the last decade: Ansistring holds a string in the system
encoding.

And now very recently I found out that this is no longer valid in 2.7,
ansistring can be configured to hold a UTF-8 value in a valid and
supported way, and this changes a lot of things to me.
