Yes, I remember. I thing that hybrid FSR-UTF16 (like FSR, but UTF-16 is 
used instead of UCS4) is the better choice for CPython. I suppose that 
with populating emoticons and other icon characters in nearest 5 or 10 
years, even English text will often contain astral characters. And 
spending 4 bytes per character if long text contains one astral 
character looks too prodigally.
