[issue12751] Use macros for surrogates in unicodeobject.c

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

We may use the following unlikely macro for IS_SURROGATE, IS_HIGH_SURROGATE and IS_LOW_SURROGATE:

#define likely(x)	__builtin_expect(!!(x), 1)
#define unlikely(x)	__builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)

I suppose that we should use microbenchmarks to validate these macros?

Should I open a new issue for this idea?
