I don't have a problem with this.  It makes sense that functions that
operate on PyUnicode objects start with PyUnicode_ and those that
operate on Py_UNICODE ordinals start with Py_UNICODE_.  Of course,
PyUnicode should have been named PyUnicodeObject and Py_UNICODE should
have been named Py_wchar_t, but that's a different story.
