Victor has fixed one of these bugs, so at least I don't think we should be
"bug compatible" with it.  Also, if people like my idea of trying to do a
PyPy 1.5.1 right after CPython 2.7.2 (RC1 scheduled for the 28th) it would
be easy to start pulling in the stdlib now to not deal with it.

One reason I didn&#39;t implement the classes yet is that I couldn&#39;t<br>
understand two points in how they are supposed to work.   But it seems<br>
that there are really two bugs, as I&#39;ve been pointed to:<br>
<a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue12100" \

should<br> be bug-compatible with Python 2.7 or if we should instead implement<br>
some fixed version.<br>
<br>
I suppose I&#39;m rather for the fixed version, but I&#39;d like to hear some<br>
feedback from people that actually use multibytecodecs.   Also, I<br>
wouldn&#39;t mind if someone would pick up the work and just do it, either<br>
the classes or ``errors != &quot;strict&quot;&#39;&#39; :-)<br>
