It has modules to respond to !commands, answer to keywords, post RDF headlines in the channel, kick users because of bad words, interact with the user with an A.I.

The big advantage of an unicode object is, that it knows its encoding, and can be converted to any wanted encoding) a str-instance does not know what its chars represent. the relevant Callbacks (mostly msg, query, command, noticed) get the input string as unicode object, and they SHOULD use sendmsg and sendme with unicode messages.
