/*
Type PyStringObject represents a character string.  An extra zero byte is
reserved at the end to ensure it is zero-terminated, but a size is
present so strings with null bytes in them can be represented.  This
is an immutable object type.

There are functions to create new string objects, to test
an object for string-ness, and to get the
string value.  The latter function returns a null pointer
if the object is not of the proper type.
There is a variant that takes an explicit size as well as a
variant that assumes a zero-terminated string.  Note that none of the
functions should be applied to nil objects.
*/

/* Caching the hash (ob_shash) saves recalculation of a string's hash value.
   Interning strings (ob_sstate) tries to ensure that only one string
   object with a given value exists, so equality tests can be one pointer
   comparison.  This is generally restricted to strings that "look like"
   Python identifiers, although the intern() builtin can be used to force
   interning of any string.
   Together, these sped the interpreter by up to 20%. */
