If the input is a 'bytes' instance, where do you stow the 'kind' member?

This line:
- Passes a 'bytes' object to a constructor of 'bytes' object;
- Passes a counted-length string to an API that expects a C string;
- Passes a PyObject * to a Subversion API function taking an svn_checksum_t *;
- Uses an svn_error_t * as the result of the typemap
Basically, you managed to condense four type mismatches into two
function calls and one assignment. And each one of those is a potential
segfault.
I won't blame you for not noticing that your patch generated new
compiler warnings --- the bindings build generates mountains of stderr
spam --- but did you compile and run the code?
