The mnemonic for the current name in the PEP is that bchr is to chr as b"" is to "". The PEP should probably say that in addition to pointing out the 'unichr' Python 2 inspiration, though. The other big difference between this and the os module case, is that the resulting builtin constructor pairs here are str/chr (arbitrary text, single code point) and bytes/bchr (arbitrary binary data, single binary octet). By contrast, os.getcwd() and os.getcwdb() (and similar APIs) are both referring to the same operating system level operation, they're just requesting a different return type for the data.
