If we do 'isinstance(obj, str)', then what should be the behavior in
Py2 and Py3? In fact, this question is actually related to the map in
builtin_types_table at Cython/Compiler/Builtin.py. Do it make sense to
do the map like this

bytes -> PyBytes_Type
str -> PyString_Type
unicode -> PyUnicode_Type

But this would require to #define 'PyString_Type' to 'PyUnicode_Type'
for the Py3 case, instead of the current approach of being it #defined
a 'PyBytes_Type'.

My mind still resist the idea of not being able to tell Cython 'this
is the built-in 'str' type you use in Python code, whatever it is in
Py2 or Py3'.
