+1. I was recently trying to use the C API for a 3rd party library, and all of these subtly different string parameter formats made things surprisingly confusing. These are part of the Python C API, so removing them could break 3rd party code. Simply searching through the stdlib is not enough to show that these are not in use. So removal would require a deprecation period.
