Be warned that some (many?) C functions assume that if an object is an 
instance of PyString_Type (either directly or an instance of a subclass 
of str) they can use PyString_AS_STRING on it. The same thing is true 
for most other buildin types. This means the NS* types can never be a 
full substitute for native python types (which is really too bad).
