If implemented correctly, the allocation only happens once the first 
time the object crosses the bridge from ObjC->Python.   From then on, 
the bridge should be able to use the already existing instance of 
NSString when going from Python->ObjC.   The challenge will be when 
going from ObjC->Python after the first invocation.  I'm hoping the 
weak reference code that is already present in the bridge will provide 
some kind of a solution.

The truth will be revealed in the code, I suppose.
