On the one hand a user who isn't interested in encodings
shouldn't be passing a Unicode argument. On the other hand,
Unicode strings have a way of sneaking into your application
when you least suspect them. E.g. Tkinter returns them, so
does IDLE, and I see them used more and more in Zope 3.

FWIW, I like Just's "fall back to bytestrings" aproach.
