(This is Casey Duncan's idea btw :-)
Having to write
_(u"Name")
when I mean
"Name"
for user presentation strings everywhere does not look good at all, and
has a significant-barrier-of-entry-to-newbies feel to it. I understand
the rationale for each of the marks, but could we at least make the _
function automatically convert strings to unicode?
Ever-so-slightly better:
_("Name")
