Converting NSStrings to unicode was only a sidetrack of the string 
related discussions ;-).

This is partially because I was lazy and only subclassed 
__builtin__.unicode, but mostly because NSStrings are unicode strings. 
Unless returning unicode strings proves to be a real problem I'd like 
to keep it this way (if you want a string you can always do the 
conversion yourself).
