Given it returns an eternal object, and it's almost always used
temporarily (for attribute lookup, string joining, etc.), it would seem
more practical for it to return a borrowed reference.
For purity reasons: all PyUnicode_From* functions return new references
(most of them return actually new objects most of the time); having
PyUnicode_FromId return a borrowed reference would break uniformity.
I personally it difficult to remember which functions return borrowed
references, and wish there were fewer of them in the API
I agree with this general sentiment. For PyUnicode_FromId, though, I
think it makes sense to return a borrowed reference.
