--------

That's very naive. In fact, what happens is just the opposite.
The "best case" with the FSR is worst than the "worst case"
without the FSR.

And this is just without counting the effect that this poor
Python is spending its time in switching from one internal
representation to one another, without forgetting the fact
that this has to be tested every time.
The more unicode manipulations one applies, the more time
it demands.

Two tasks, that come in my mind: re and normalization.
It's very interesting to observe what happens when one
normalizes latin text and polytonic Greek text, both with
plenty of diactrics.

Something different, based on my previous example.

What a European user is supposed to think, when she/he
sees, she/he can be "penalized" by such an amount,
simply by using non ascii characters for a product
which is supposed to be "unicode compliant" ?
