It may be useful to document that this will short-circuit if the strings do not have the same length.

I've added a note similar to the one for slices.

It would also be helpful to add a few tests for this.

I'm interested in this change. Is there anything blocking it?

The workaround is very simple, just call as_bytes() and then ct_eq().
