[Numpy-discussion] newunicode branch started to fix unicode to always be UCS4

[Travis Oliphant]

I've started a branch on SVN to fix the unicode implementation in NumPy 
so that internally all unicode arrays use UCS4.  When a scalar is 
obtained it will be the Python unicode scalar and the required 
conversions (and data-copying) will be done. 

If anybody would like to help the branch is
