-1. This breaks existing documentation and usage, and provides only
minimum value.

With --enable-unicode=ucs2, Python's Py_UNICODE does *not* start
supporting the full Unicode ccs the same way it supports UCS-2.
Individual surrogate values remain accessible, and supporting
non-BMP characters is left to the application (with the exception
of the UTF-8 codec).
