The audience is actually quite large: any call to <unicodestr>.encode
could invoke this codec, if Python does not provide a builtin codec.

This includes, in particular, all CJK codecs. 

Together with a platform-specific codec wrapper for Windows and OS X,
the need to package Python-specific CJK codecs (with the size and
maintenance issues that come with them) might vanish.
