Oh wait. PEP 383 is a solution to store undecodable bytes in an unicode string, but for mbcs I'm trying to get the opposite: store unicode in bytes and this is not possible (at least with PEP 383).

Example with Python 3.1:

>>> print("abcŁdef".encode("cp1252", "surrogateescape"))
...
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u0141' in position 3: character maps to <undefined>
