Yes. Unfortunately, that would be much more inefficient. So I'd
suggest you just put an assertion into the code that Py_UNICODE is the
same size as WCHAR (that can be even done through a preprocessor
#error, using the _SIZE #defines). I'll expect people will resist
changing Py_UNICODE on Windows for quite some time, even if other
platforms move on.
