New submission from Trey Hunner <trey@truthful.technology>:
It looks like the encode method for UserString incorrectly wraps its return
value in a str call.
```
>>> from collections import UserString
>>> UserString("hello").encode('utf-8') == b'hello'
False
>>> UserString("hello").encode('utf-8')
"b'hello'"
>>> type(UserString("hello").encode('utf-8'))
<class 'collections.UserString'>
```
