> Hum, pep540-3.patch doesn't work if the locale encoding is different than ASCII and UTF-8. argv must be reencoded: I want to skip reencoding. On UTF-8 mode, arbitrary bytes in cmdline (e.g. broken filename passed by xarg) should be able to roundtrip by UTF-8/surrogateescape. I don't trust wcstombs/mbstowcs. It may not guarantee round tripping of arbitrary bytes. Can -X utf8 option be processed before Py_Main()?
