New submission from Haoyu Bai <divine...@gmail.com>: Why _PyUnicode_AsString and _PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize are not public API? They are very useful when porting extension module to Python 3, because they have the semantic as same as PyString_AsString. For extension author, these API can be used for replacing PyString_AsString without any other change in code logic.
So why not make these API public? Any consideration? If we can document these API, then C extension author can know them and use them, without spending a lot of time to dig them out from Python source code.
