Python 3's `str` type is opaque, so it can
freely choose how to represent the data in memory. numpy dtypes
transparently describe how the data is represented in memory.
Hm, yes, that is a good point.

This is a discussion about how strings are represented as bit-patterns

I thought it would be clever to just use the same internal
representation as Python would choose.
