strings are not convincing. For UCS2 (16-bit wchar_t type), use a dummy loop
instead of wmemcmp(). The dummy loop is as fast, or a little bit faster.

wchar_t is only 16-bit long on Windows. wmemcmp() is still used for 32-bit
wchar_t.

the default exception/value when called instead of raising/returning
NotimplementedError/NotImplemented (except where appropriate).
This should allow for the ABCs to act as the bottom/end of the MRO with expected
default results.

As part of this work, also make importlib.abc.Loader.module_repr()
optional instead of an abstractmethod.

PyUnicode_WRITE() expands some parameters twice or more.

it twice

Inline the BLOOM_MEMBER() to only call PyUnicode_READ() only once (per loop
iteration). Store also the length of the seperator in a variable to avoid calls
to PyUnicode_GET_LENGTH().

Avoid expensive PyUnicode_READ() and PyUnicode_WRITE(), manipulate pointers
instead.

Write specialized functions per Unicode kind to avoid the expensive
PyUnicode_READ() macro.
