now that we got rid of the unicode.semantics switch, should we change

'binary'
which it is now?
I'd say that var_dump("foo") should give 'unicode(3) "foo"' and
var_dump(b"foo") should give 'binary(3) "foo"'. I see no reason not to
give the explicit type — why would anything rely on this for backwards
compatibility?
