+/* Test whether a unicode is equal to ASCII string.  Return 1 if true,
+   0 otherwise.  Return 0 if any argument contains non-ASCII characters.
+   Any error occurs inside will be cleared before return. */

Can you please also document the behaviour if you pass two non-ASCII strings which are equal? I understand that it returns also 0, right?

Maybe the API should be more strict and require right to be ASCII: "right string must be encoded to ASCII". I expect an assertion error or a fatal error if right is non-ASCII when Python is compiled in debug mode.
