Something I forgot last time around: as soon as we have
Python source code encodings, disabling Unicode will no
longer be "easy".

If you still want to proceed with this, then please add the
test for ASCII-compatibility, since otherwise code can easily
become non-portable between Python Unicode/non-Unicode builds
anymore without anyone noticing.
