"To clarify - ANSI is the natural default *for programs that don't support
Unicode*."

Exactly. For this reason, I am stronly opposed to chnage the default
encoding.

I'm ok to add helper functions or new flags.

It looks like it took more than five years to support well Unicode in
Python 3 on UNIX, and that we now have to enhance "Unicode support" (use
the right encoding, use a real Unicode API) on Windows :-)
