Martin:

I'd like to add a static property unicode.errorhandling, which defaults to "strict". Applications could set this to "replace" or "ignore", silencing the errors, and risking loss of data. What do you think?

Two traditional questions:

• How does this work for library writers?

• How does this work with threads?
