This is not very clear. You are proposing to add a function which already exists, except that you have to free the pointer yourself? I don't think that's a good idea, the API is already large enough.
I want to rename PyUnicode_AsUnicode() and change its result type (Py_UNICODE* => wchar_t*). The result will be a "borrowed reference", ie. you don't have to free the memory, it will be done when the Unicode string will be destroyed (by Py_DECREF).
But this is almost the same as PyUnicode_AsWideCharString, right?
