New submission from Inada Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com>:
_PyUnicode_FromASCII(s, len) is faster than PyUnicode_FromString(s) because
PyUnicode_FromString() uses temporary _PyUnicodeWriter to support UTF-8.
But _PyUnicode_FromASCII("hello", strlen("hello"))` is not as easy as
`PyUnicode_FromString("hello")`.
_PyUnicode_FROM_ASCII() is simple macro which wraps _PyUnicode_FromASCII which
calls strlen() automatically:
```
/* Convenient wrapper for _PyUnicode_FromASCII */
#define _PyUnicode_FROM_ASCII(s) _PyUnicode_FromASCII((s), strlen(s))
```
I believe recent compilers optimize away calls of strlen().
