Comment (by jrief):
My concrete problem is an implementation of a class derived from
``Decimal``: https://github.com/jrief/django-
shop/blob/0.3.0.dev/shop/money/money_maker.py
This class overrides the ``__format__`` method, so that Django's
``numberformat`` can render instances of that type in the current locale.
But my class also uses unicode symbols, for instance the € symbol.
Therefore strings in ``numberformat`` shall be mixable with unicode
strings from other modules.
You can also see it from another perspective.
Most Python files in Django contain this line:
```
from __future__ import unicode_literals
```
without that line, unicode literals only work with Python-3. By not adding
this, Django intentionally behaves differently in Py-2 and Py-3.
