The u"..." looks more intuitive too me. While inheriting C/C++
constructs usually makes sense I think usage in the C community
is not that wide-spread yet and for a Python freak, the small u will
definitely remind him of Unicode whereas the L will stand for
(nearly) unlimited length/precision.

Not that this is important, but...
