-----

I know all of this. And this is exactly, what I explained.
I do not care about this optimization. I'm not an ascii user.
As a non ascii user, this optimization is just irrelevant.

What should a Python user think, if he sees his strings
are comsuming more memory just because he uses non ascii
characters or he sees his strings are changing just because
he "uppercases" them.
Unicode is here to serve anybody.
