pyperformance has a mode to mesure the memory usage (mostly the memory
peak) if someone wants to have a look.

Oh. That's a major change in the PEP 393 design. You would have to
modify many functions in CPython. Currently, the PEP 393 requires that
a string always use the most efficient storage, and many optimizations
and code paths rely on that assumptions.

I'm against this change.

Moreover, it's hard to guess how a string will be used later...
