On Windows, the Python headers define HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T and Py_UNICODE_SIZE 2, so we are already relying on sizeof(wchar_t) == 2 on Windows. My patch ran into trouble because it inadvertently disabled that assumption in a few places, causing code to take the slow path and convert between wchar_t * and Py_UNICODE *. The test that failed checks that the fast path was taken on Windows.
