Why is your proposed bstr wrapper not practical to implement outside

__contains__ doesn't have a converse operation, so you can't code a type
that works around this (Python 3.1 shown):
>>> from os.path import join
>>> join(b'x','y')
>>> join('y',b'x')
I am really unclear what result you intend for such mixed pairs, for all
possible mixed pairs, sensible or not. It would seem to me best to write
your own pjoin function that did exactly what you want over the whole
input domain.
