[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

Format units "Z" and "Z#" in PyArg_Parse* return a pointer to immutable internal data. Therefor the result of the Py_UNICODE converter in Argument Clinic should has type "const Py_UNICODE *".

This would help to catch the bug reported in issue31446.
