+- There is a new Unicode companion to the builtin str() function
+ called unistr(). Like str(), it calls either the tp_str slot of

+ The unistr() is complemented by a new PyObject_Unicode() C API

- The comparison operators support "rich comparison overloading" (PEP
207). C extension types can provide a rich comparison function in
the new tp_richcompare slot in the type object. The cmp() function
