It would be nice to have the optimisation back if it's easy enough to do so, for quick-and-dirty code, but it is not a good idea to rely on it (and it's especially unwise to base benchmarks on it working :-)) Note that this string optimization hack is still present in Python 3, but it now acts on unicode strings, not bytes.

Ah, yes. That makes sense. Paul
