[issue1943] improved allocation of PyUnicode objects

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

The PEP 393 is based on the idea proposed in this issue (use only one memory block, not two), but also enhanced it to reduce more the memory using other technics:

 - use a different character type depending on the maximum character,
 - use a shorter structure for ASCII only strings

The PEP 393 has been accepted and merged into Python 3.3. So I consider this issue as done.
