On further reflection, the key collision and semantics blurring problems mean I am at best -0 on this particular solution to the problem (and heading fairly rapidly in the direction of -1). Best to just go with b'a'[0] and let the optimiser sort it out (PyPy should handle it automatically, CPython would need work).
