This is a false dichotomy. Conclusions based on falsity are false.

This is wrong. Every Python user is an ascii user. All names in the 
stdlib are ascii-only. These names all become strings in code objects. 
All docstrings (with a couple of rare exceptions) are ascii-only. They 
also become strings. *Every Python user* benefits from the new system in 
3.3.

Some Python users are also non-ascii user. This include many English 
speakers, as many English texts include non-ascii characters. (Just for 
starters, the copyright and trademark symbols are not in the ascii set.)

I posted evidence otherwise. Jim never responded to those posts. Instead 
he repeats the falsehood refuted by evidence.

Yes. Run stringbench.py on the OS/machine on 3.2 and 3.3 as I did.
