Summary: docs for Py_UNICODE are wrong

Initial Comment:
Quoting the docs (Python C/API manual, section 7.3.2,
unicode objects):

Py_UNICODE

This type represents a 16-bit unsigned storage type
which is used by Python internally as basis for holding
Unicode ordinals. On platforms where wchar_t is
available and also has 16-bits, Py_UNICODE is a typedef
alias for wchar_t to enhance native platform
compatibility. On all other platforms, Py_UNICODE is a
typedef alias for unsigned short.

This is apparently wrong for wide unicode builds.
