Now we're really drifting off-topic. ;)

No, that's totally unrelated. The "wchar_t" type is used internally for 
Unicode strings (typedef-ed to "Py_UNICODE") by CPython on Windows. It has 
nothing to do with the char* type used to represent C (byte!) strings, and 
in particular, it has nothing to do with the *content* of C byte strings 
and its mapping from C byte string literals in Cython code, which is what 
this discussion is about.
