This patch solve nothing, but just raises exception. It can break
existing codes. Also, I don't think it worth to add weired behavior to
Python std lib. I'll be surprised if *Byte* API raised an
UnicodeEncodeError.

Agreed. So I would like to suggest not to adding unnecessary
complexity to the Byte API.
