My plan is: - create PyUnicode_AsWideCharString() - use PyUnicode_AsWideCharString() everywhere - patch unicode_aswidechar() (used by PyUnicode_AsWideChar() and PyUnicode_AsWideCharString()) to convert surrogates when needed So, you agree with the API (and the documentation)?

I don't want to do two different things at the same time. My plan is:
 - create PyUnicode_AsWideCharString()
 - use PyUnicode_AsWideCharString() everywhere
 - patch unicode_aswidechar() (used by PyUnicode_AsWideChar() and 
PyUnicode_AsWideCharString()) to convert surrogates when needed

So, you agree with the API (and the documentation)?
