For Python 2.7 and 3.2, I would prefer to not touch a public header, and 
so add the macros in unicodeobject.c.

If you want to make my HIGH_SURROGATE and LOW_SURROGATE macros public, 
they will use to substract 0x10000 themself (whereas my macros require 
the ordinal to be preproceed).

Note: I don't think that _Py_UNICODE*NEXT should go into Python 2.7 or 3.2.

>   * IS_NONBMP doesn't simplify much the code but makes it more readable.  ICU has U_IS_BMP, but in most of the cases we want to check for non-BMP, so if we add this macro it might be ok to check for non-BMP;

If you want to make it public, it's better to call it PyUNICODE_IS_BMP() 
(check if the argument is in U+0000-U+FFFF).

>   * I'm not sure HIGH_SURROGATE/LOW_SURROGATE are useful with _Py_UNICODE_NEXT.  If they are they should get a better name because the current one is not clear about what they do.

They are still useful for UTF-16 encoders (to UTF-16-LE/BE and 16-bit 
wchar_t*). We can keep HIGH_SURROGATE and LOW_SURROGATE private in 
unicodeobject.c.

Cool. I suppose that you mean PyUNICODE_JOIN_SURROGATES (not 
Py_UNICODE_JOIN_SURROGATES). I used the verb "combine", taken from a 
comment in unicodeobject.c. "combine" is maybe better than "join"?
