I'm still leaning towards "don't change", since I don't expect that such string objects occur in source code, and since I still think source code / .pyc is/should be the major application of marshal.
I agree this is fine. I'll update the PEP with this rationale and the link(s) you provided unless anyone objects. That way we have it clearly documented that this was intentional. I didn't remember this discussion back when ssize_t was done.
