Comment (by keturn):
Returning the wrong type will gum things up even if the content of that
response is only ascii characters, as in
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25730#ticket this example].
Those format operations aren't always in places where you can change them
over to all use `__unicode__`, because they're embedded in things like
[https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/unittest/case.py#L691
TestCase messages], which is where I encountered it.
Having the test-failure message fail to format itself and crash is pretty
annoying when you're trying to write or fix a test.
