Something I've been meaning to bring up... do we know what shape the
Unicode/str/bytes resolution will take?  It would be nice to know so
that similar changes can be made to Jython.  For example, str in
Jython is a Unicode type, but things like the MD5 module should really
only be dealing with 8-bit strings.

Is PEP 358 still the current thinking on the bytes type?  If yes,
should we set about implementing it for Jython and Python 2.6?
