These are passed as byte strings (unicode strings are passed as wide
character strings).

ctypes.create_unicode_buffer also accepts bytes now.

Revert some tests in test_unicode: Since string literals are unicode
now, conversion takes place when byte literals are passed as unicode
parameters.

This patch also changes:

The return value of the native ftruncate function is checked for '!=
0' instead of '< 0' as before.

fileio_seekable returns bool now instead of an int.

contain several string literals using non-ASCII characters.  Because
of the pain of displaying those characters, it's better to use \xXX
escapes for these instead of typing the accented characters.

Apologies if I missed something; it didn't look like there was anything
that depended on this file being encoded in Latin-1 or containing non-ASCII
characters.

    Many calls to tk.call involve an arglist containing a single tuple.
    Calls using METH_OLDARGS unpack this tuple; calls using METH_VARARG
    don't.  Tcl's concatenation of args was affected; IDLE doesn't start.

    Modify Tkapp_Call() to unpack single tuple arglists.

  Dict comprehensions. Still needs doc changes (like many python-3000 features
  ;-). It generates bytecode similar to:

  x = {}
  for k, v in (generator here):
    x[k] = v

  except there is no tuple-packing and -unpacking involved. Trivial
  measurement suggests it's significantly faster than dict(generator here) (in
  the order of 2 to 3 times as fast) but I have not done extensive
  measurements.
