Summary: CFStringGetUnicode() returns null-terminated unicode string

Initial Comment:
Carbon.CoreFoundation CFStringGetUnicode() wrapper returns a 
null-terminated unicode string. Example:

#######

#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw

import Carbon.CoreFoundation as CF
from appscript import LaunchServices

path = 'TextEdit.app'

fURL = LaunchServices.LSFindApplicationForInfo ('????', None, 
path)[1]

print [c for c in 
(fURL.CFURLCopyFileSystemPath(CF.kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle).CFSt
ringGetUnicode())]

--> [u'/', u'A', u'p', u'p', u'l', u'i', u'c', u'a', u't', u'i', u'o', u'n', u's', 
u'/', u'T', u'e', u'x', u't', u'E', u'd', u'i', u't', u'.', u'a', u'p', u'p', u'x00'] -- why is last character 0x00???
