Even if the backend is storing using an ascii backed data type, it should
still return unicode data to Django anyway, so I'm not sure there would be
a difference.

We can change the internal type of SlugField for option 1 based upon
whether or not the field should be unicode. Whether or not an existing
backend stores SlugField in an ascii char datatype shouldn't dictate
whether we go with SlugField(unicode=True) or UnicodeSlugField(). Let me
rephrase the ques
It feels to me more like an option to SlugField and I feel UnicodeSlugField
is a bit ugly. If however we find an example where Michael's point is valid
(an external 3rd party backend which uses ascii chars for SlugField now)
then we should go with that.

Should the unicode validated field (either options) have a different
internal type for the sake of 3rd party database backends? I'm not sure if
any currently store SlugFIeld in an ascii char datatype and would need an
easy way to differentiate.

I wanted to solicit feedback on the two approaches to supporting unicode in
SlugField:
1. Added a unicode argument to models.SlugField and forms.SlugField.
https://github.com/django/django/pull/1979
2. Added models.UnicodeSlugField and forms.UnicodeSlugField.
