I'm proposing the following PEP for inclusion into Python 3.1. Please comment.

+1. Even if some people still want a low-level bytes API, it's
important that the easy case be easy. That is: the majority of Python
applications should just work, damnit even with not-properly-encoded- in-current-LC_CTYPE filenames. It looks like this proposal
accomplishes that, and does so in a relatively nice fashion.
