[issue1943] improved allocation of PyUnicode objects

[Jim Jewett]

Jim Jewett <jimjjewett at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

There were a number of patches to support sharing of data between 
unicode objects.  (By Larry Hastings?)  They were rejected because (a)  
they were complicated, and (b)  it was possible to provoke pathological 
memory retention.
