/*
   For both PyString_FromString() and PyString_FromStringAndSize(), the
   parameter `size' denotes number of characters to allocate, not counting any
   null terminating character.

   For PyString_FromString(), the parameter `str' points to a null-terminated
   string containing exactly `size' bytes.

   For PyString_FromStringAndSize(), the parameter the parameter `str' is
   either NULL or else points to a string containing at least `size' bytes.
   For PyString_FromStringAndSize(), the string in the `str' parameter does
   not have to be null-terminated.  (Therefore it is safe to construct a
   substring by calling `PyString_FromStringAndSize(origstring, substrlen)'.)
   If `str' is NULL then PyString_FromStringAndSize() will allocate `size+1'
   bytes (setting the last byte to the null terminating character) and you can
   fill in the data yourself.  If `str' is non-NULL then the resulting
   PyString object must be treated as immutable and you must not fill in nor
   alter the data yourself, since the strings may be shared.

   The PyObject member `op->ob_size', which denotes the number of "extra
   items" in a variable-size object, will contain the number of bytes
   allocated for string data, not counting the null terminating character.  It
   is therefore equal to the equal to the `size' parameter (for
   PyString_FromStringAndSize()) or the length of the string in the `str'
   parameter (for PyString_FromString()).
