Nonsense.
b"Look ma, a Python 2 style ASCII string."
As I said, all but trivial cases.
Do you consider separating Unicode strings from byte strings, having to
decode and encode from one to the other, and knowing which
functions/methods accept one, the other, or both as arguments, as "not
dealing with Unicode"? I don't.
