Well, either it's supported and it will have to go through a deprecation
phase, or it's unsupported and it can be ripped out right now...

I don't think it should be supported at all, given that the semantics of
writing an iterable of ints are totally non-obvious. Reading both the
PEP and the docstrings in io.py, I only see mentions of "bytes" and
"buffer", not of an iterable of ints. Perhaps Guido should pronounce.

(do you know of any code relying on this behaviour? the C version
obviously does not support it and all regression tests pass fine, except
for an SSL bug I filed)
