Content
I find that the null termination for 8-bit strings makes low-level parsing operations (e.g., parsing a numeric string) safer and easier: for example, it makes skipping a series of digits with something like: while (isdigit(*s)) ++s; safe. I'd imagine that null terminated PyUNICODE arrays would have similar benefits.
