This implements basic, but IMHO, mergeable, unicode strings support. Features added beyond initial patchset (#671) are discussed at
#657 (comment) .

Thanks @pfalcon, really nice. I will take a good look through it.

    Make len(s) return character length (even though creation's still buggy)

commit cd2cf66
Author: Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Jun 6 13:15:36 2014 +1000

    HACK - When indexing a qstr, count its charlen. Stupidly inefficient but POC.

    All tests pass now, though string creation is still buggy.

    Beginnings of UTF-8 support - construct strings from that many UTF-8-encoded chars, and subscript bytes the same way

commit 89452be
Author: Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Jun 6 05:28:47 2014 +1000

    Update comments - now aiming for UTF-8 rather than PEP 393 strings

commit c239f50
Author: Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Jun 4 05:28:12 2014 +1000

    Add PEP 393-flags to strings and stub usage.

    The test suite all passes, but nothing has actually been changed.
Useful when we have pointer to char inside string, but need to return char
index. (E.g. str.find()).

Do you think that we can safely exclude encode and decode methods (with CPYTHON_COMPAT option)? You can use bytes() and str() instead, but is that the more "Pythonic" way / more used way?

Would it be better to have a different (more descriptive) config option for these methods, eg MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_STR_ENCODE?

No ;-(

You can use bytes() and str() instead, but is that the more "Pythonic" way / more used way?

So, converting via encoding arg to constructors is Py3-only feature, and so nobody uses it (well, I never saw a case so far), whereas .encode()/.decode() are well known Py2 methods.

Would it be better to have a different (more descriptive) config option for these methods, eg MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_STR_ENCODE?

Yes, now that we have good config scheme, makes sense to do that. But that's not exactly unicode-specific, as objstr.c has similar usage.

This enables testing unicode and non-unicode implementations.
Unicode is disabled by default for now, since FileIO.read(n) is
currently not implemented for text-mode files, and this is an
often function.

Okay, that's merged. I made a few small changes, and added some comments.

It would be good to enable by default unicode support in both unix and stmhal ports. To do that, need to implement FileIO.read(n) for text-mode files.

Shall we delete the unicode branch?

Thanks! I submitted #726 for buffered streams implementation. More smaller tweaks needed here and there too. Yes, I'll delete the branch.
