In the standart Python 3.2 source tree, Modules/_lsprof.c uses that internal
function _PyUnicode_AsString. Internal means internal to the whole
distribution here I think?. But IMHO, this should not be the case, C API
modules in the standart dist. should not use internal functions of other
areas. Like in the example: cProfile code has nothing to do with the Unicode
internals. New developers like me, are in need a consistent examples of
usage of Python C API, especially on Python 3.2.
