What about my comments regarding the PyUnicode_AsString() API in
http://bugs.python.org/msg65962

Should I open a separate tracker item for this ?

I don't know who added those APIs, but they are neither in line with
the rest of the Unicode API, nor are they really all that helpful.
I guess they were just added out of a misunderstanding of the
already existing code.

I'd suggest to remove PyUnicode_AsString() altogether (which your
patch has already done in a couple of places).
