Regarding this post and related comments, I would like to say that, as an external observer who does not know the details of CPython development decision-making process, phrases such as "Okay, then Nick and I are overruled" and "At Guido's behest" sound not so good to my ears.
Maybe you and Guido are best friends, and you are half-joking with that tone, or maybe you are responsible for that part of code, so it is your duty to change it according to BDFL last words even if you do not agree with them... I do not know. Anyway I think it would be better, in the open source world, if a code change is developed by someone who thinks it is the right thing to do, or I could not see so much difference from commercial companies and proprietary software.
Hey, just my two cents. Keep rocking! :)
This court can find no meaningful difference between computer language, particularly high-level languages as defined above, and German or French... Like music and mathematical equations, computer language is just that, language, and it communicates information either to a computer or to those who can read it.

No commonly accepted Unicode graphics font,
no Unicode art scene; no art scene, no font support.
The idea of an art-compatible Unicode font was born.Q: What are private-use characters?
A: Private-use characters are code points whose interpretation is not specified by a character encoding standard and whose use and interpretation may be determined by private agreement among cooperating users. Private-use characters are sometimes also referred to as user-defined characters (UDC) or vendor-defined characters (VDC).
