I agree, we need consistency between all functions of this package.

I've run a small script to check what happens for all 16 functions of
the binascii package when they receive unicode input...

See attached script (and sample output).

IMHO 4 functions should be fixed to raise the same TypeError:
 - a2b_hex
 - a2b_qp
 - unhexlify
 - rledecode_hqx 

Documentation says that the functions in `binary` module « convert
between binary and various ASCII-encoded binary representations »
So... it's all binary.

Implicit encoding should not happen, never.
