- wide-unicode: this is a tricky one. I'm tempted to say that the stable ABI should always use a PyUNICODE that matches the platform's wchart. Alternative proposals are welcome.

Sizeof(wchar_t) is 4 on OSX, but the Apple frameworks use a 16-bit type to represent unicode codepoints (UniChar). Current builds on OSX use a 16-bit unicode type which makes it pretty cheap to convert strings from Python to a C array of UniChar.

I'm therefore -1 on switching to a wide unicode build on OSX.
