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 = &#039;TextEdit.app&#039;

fURL = LaunchServices.LSFindApplicationForInfo (&#039;????&#039;, None, 
path)[1]

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

--> [u&#039;/&#039;, u&#039;A&#039;, u&#039;p&#039;, u&#039;p&#039;, u&#039;l&#039;, u&#039;i&#039;, u&#039;c&#039;, u&#039;a&#039;, u&#039;t&#039;, u&#039;i&#039;, u&#039;o&#039;, u&#039;n&#039;, u&#039;s&#039;, 
u&#039;/&#039;, u&#039;T&#039;, u&#039;e&#039;, u&#039;x&#039;, u&#039;t&#039;, u&#039;E&#039;, u&#039;d&#039;, u&#039;i&#039;, u&#039;t&#039;, u&#039;.&#039;, u&#039;a&#039;, u&#039;p&#039;, u&#039;p&#039;, u&#039;x00&#039;] -- why is last character 0x00???
