Okay, I just want to be very careful about the message we're sending here, because I think many libraries and applications will work fine with the facilities available in today's stable releases, i.e. unicode_literals and b-prefixes. For these, there's no need to define "native strings", nor do they require language constructs above what's already available. -Barry
