  13 Type PyStringObject represents a character string.  An extra zero byte is
  14 reserved at the end to ensure it is zero-terminated, but a size is
  15 present so strings with null bytes in them can be represented.  This
  16 is an immutable object type.
  17
  18 There are functions to create new string objects, to test
  19 an object for string-ness, and to get the
  20 string value.  The latter function returns a null pointer
  21 if the object is not of the proper type.
  22 There is a variant that takes an explicit size as well as a
  23 variant that assumes a zero-terminated string.  Note that none of the
  24 functions should be applied to nil objects.

  28    Interning strings (ob_sstate) tries to ensure that only one string
  29    object with a given value exists, so equality tests can be one pointer
  30    comparison.  This is generally restricted to strings that "look like"
  31    Python identifiers, although the intern() builtin can be used to force
  32    interning of any string.
  33    Together, these sped the interpreter by up to 20%. */
