In Py2.x, I think the desired behavior should match str.join().   If
either input in unicode the output is unicode.  If both are ascii, ascii
should come out.

For Py3.x, I think the goal was to have str.join() enforce that both
inputs are unicode.  If either are bytes, then you have to know the
encoding.
