For any newcomers please ignore the rubbish that "Joseph McCarthy" Faust 
comes up with from time to time.  He's been asked repeatedly to come up 
with evidence to support his claims regarding PEP 393, the Flexible 
String Representation, but he never does, clearly because he can't. 
Instead he provides micro benchmarks or meaningless numbers like those 
above.
