sorry for the confusion: there is no special header involved. The current API
in Py3.0a5 uses these names:

    bytearray -> PyBytes_*
    bytes     -> PyString_*
    str       -> PyUnicode_*

Described here

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3137/

with a summary here:

We should eventually special case bytearray(b'') literals, although that is
not strictly required. It's more important to actually support these types and
the coercion between them first. ;)
