There are two things I'd like to get in to 3.0:

to add the methods to PyUnicode, PyBytes and PyByteArray)
* cleanup of the PyUnicode_AsString() and PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize()
C APIs (these APIs don't fit into the naming scheme used in the
Unicode API and have a few other issues as well, see issue 2799;
at the very least they should be made interpreter internal, ie.
rename them to _PyUnicode_AsString() and _PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize()
to prevent their use in extensions)
As it turned out, I haven't had time to look into these things.
The .transform()/.untransform() can wait until 3.1. The codecs module
allows doing same-type conversion, so that can be used as work-around.
Regarding the C API, I would really not like extensions to start using
these APIs since they expose internals that should be exposed in this
direct way (PyUnicode_AsString()) and/or behave differently than the
corresponding PyString API (PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize()).
Since I don't have time to work on the C API, I'd like to do a
simple name change to make them private to the interpreter.
Is it too late for that ?
