While re.sub normally returns unicode strings when processing unicode,
it returns a normal string when dealing with an empty unicode string.

Example:
>>> print type( re.sub( "XX", "", u""))
<type 'str'>
>>> print type( re.sub( "XX", "", u"A"))
<type 'unicode'>

This inconsistency could lead to annoying bugs (at least it did for me :)
