That is what PEP 393 describes and what I and many others have said. The =

FSR saves memory by selecting from three choices the most compact coding =

I ask again, have you read PEP 393? If you are going to critique the=20

I do not know what you mean by 'code point optimizer'.

Do you really think that the mathematical fact "10026 < 20040 < 40044"=20
(from your example below) is some kind of illusion? If so, please take=20
your claim to a metaphysics list. If not, please stop trolling.

This is inane as 2.7 and 3.2 both use the same two coding schemes.=20
Saying '1 < 2' is different from saying '2 < 2'.

On 3.3+

3.2- wide (UCS-4) builds use about 40050 bytes for all three unicode=20
strings. One again, you have posted examples that show how FSR saves=20
memory, thus negating your denial of the saving.
