For a ready string, kind must be 1, 2 or 4. We might rename "kind" to
"charsize" because its value changed from 1, 2, 3 to 1, 2, 4 (to make it easy
to compute the size of a string: length * kind).
You are not supposed to see the secret kind==0 case. This value is only used
for string created by _PyUnicode_New() and not ready yet:
str = _PyUnicode_New()
/* use str */
assert(PyUnicode_KIND(str) == 0);
if (PyUnicode_READY(str) < 0)
/* error */
assert(PyUnicode_KIND(str) != 0); /* kind is 1, 2, 4 */
Thanks to the effort of t0rsten, Martin and me, quite all functions use the
new API (PyUnicode_New). For example, PyUnicode_AsRawUnicodeEscapeString()
starts by ensuring that the string is ready.
For your information, PyUnicode_KIND() fails with an assertion error in debug
mode if the string is not ready.

I don't have an opinion about the one-liner vs the switch :-)
But if you want to fix compiler warnings, you should use "enum PyUnicode_Kind"
type and PyUnicode_WCHAR_KIND should be removed from the enum.
