So far we haven't had any complaints - I'm not really sure how often
Jython gets used with astral plane characters at this point, but I
expect it will happen more in the future, especially once we put
together a Jython 3 and Unicode support becomes a stronger
expectation. Personally I'm hoping that in that time frame Java will
come under pressure to provide a better answer (or we may need to
think in the same direction as Dino was thinking in an earlier part of
this thread and make a more Python specific String type for
Jython....)
