/* Bytes (String) object interface */
Type PyBytesObject 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.
This significantly speeds up dict lookups. */
* ob_sval contains space for 'ob_size+1' elements.
* ob_shash is the hash of the string or -1 if not computed yet.
