I am only guessing, here, but if you had an object that you 
wanted to embed a representation of in a URL or in HTML 
form data, it would be prudent to call str() on the object and 
let its __str__ method give you a string representation, and 
then you'd percent-encode that. This makes sense for user-
defined classes, where you can define __str__, but not for 
built-in types like an ordinary list, so they give you the doseq 
flag for those situations.
