Well, do they depend on it? _PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal seems to depend
only on Objects/unicodectype.c.

$ size Objects/unicode*.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  60398	      0	      0	  60398	   ebee	Objects/unicodectype.o
 130440	  13559	   2208	 146207	  23b1f	Objects/unicodeobject.o
