  I'm not suggesting that.  I just don't see any call to change the
language definition (such as allowing additional characters in NAME
tokens).  I don't mind whatsoever if the source is stored in UCS-2,
and the tokenizer does need to understand that to create the right
value for Unicode strings specified as u'...' literals.

  Not that I know of, and I doubt I'd want to see the result!
