Sorry I lost track of this issue, I just close it.
Note: Serhiy recently worked on wchar_t functions of PyUnicodeObject to detect
embedded null characters, see for example bpo-30708.

The deprecate PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), we should stop using it in Python itself.
Here is the first step: issue #22323, rewrite PyUnicode_AsWideChar() and
PyUnicode_AsWideCharString() (to not call PyUnicode_AsUnicode() anymore).

New submission from STINNER Victor:
With the PEP 393 implemented in Python 3.3, PyUnicode_AsUnicode() and all
similar functions have to convert the compact string to a heavy wchar_t* string
(UCS-4 on Linux: 4 bytes per character, UTF-16 on Windows: 2 or 4 bytes per
character) which is stored
