Actually, the string handling is not all that dramatically different. 
The key is that the native string type in 3.0 is what used to be the
Unicode string type in 2.x.  The 8-bit string type is gone, replaced by
a new "byte" string type.

I think Federico is underestimating the conversion effort, but it
shouldn't be a complete rewrite.
