Comment (by Claude Paroz):
I would say that `reverse` is not supposed to handle arbitrary
bytestrings, so generally speaking, it's developer's role to decode any
bytestring to a string (e.g. `force_text(b'caf\xe9')` will still produce a
`DjangoUnicodeDecodeError`).
Now I could understand that we privilege backwards compatibility and still
accept ASCII bytesstrings by reintroducing `force_text` (at the expense of
a slight overhead). It's some sort of design choice.
