How can you bring up practical problems against something that hasn't been
implemented?

The fact that no other language or library does this is perhaps an
indication that it isn't the right thing to do.

But the biggest problem with the proposal is that it isn't needed: if you
want to be able to turn arbitrary byte sequences into unicode strings and
back, just set your encoding to iso8859-15.  That already works and it
doesn't require any changes.
