Would there be any sanity in having an option to compile Python with UTF-8 as the internal string representation? It would break PyUNICODE, because the internal size of a unicode character would no longer be fixed.
It's not fixed anyway with the 2-char build -- some characters are represented using a pair of surrogates.
