Ahh, I didn't mean that (storing Python unicode strings in the DB
through some magic encoding).  What I meant was to store
myvalue.encode("utf-16") in the DB, sort of like how we store
myvalue.encode("utf-8") at the moment ...

>>> 'asdf'.encode("utf-16")
'\xff\xfea\x00s\x00d\x00f\x00'

Of course, this is pretty much unreadable, which I don't like :-)

Cheers,
