Of course we can't accept Pyrex code in the Python core, so it would be great to rewrite the encoder as a patch to PyUnicodeEncodeCharmap(). This version must be able to cope with encoding tables that are random strings without crashing.

I don't think this will be necessary. I personally dislike the decoding tables, as I think a straight-forward trie will do better than a hashtable.
