I've just looked through that thread, and there doesn't
seem to have been much in the way of satisfactory
conclusions reached.

Something that doesn't seem to have been considered
as much as it needs to be is the issue of memory
management. Currently, coercing a Python string
into a char * doesn't require allocating an memory.

But if a re-coding operation is required, memory
needs to be allocated to hold the result, and it
needs to be freed again somehow. It's far from
clear how to tell when this should be done.
