John,
as you seem to know more about Carbon than I do (I know little more than what 
I learned by running the carbon dating app on Python:-), maybe you can tell me 
whether the code needs fixing. Currently if X is a handle and you access 
X.data from Python what the C code does is lock the handle, create a new 
Python string object of the right size, copy the data and unlock the handle. 
Assigning to X.data does the same in reverse, with SetHandleSize() called to 
give the handle the right size.

Is this something that will survive the Carbon transition? If not, where do I 
find out what I should do?
