This discussion isn't about whether it could be done or not, it's

find .encode('gzip') on a bytes object, too.
What I'm not seeing is a clear rationale on where you
draw the line. Out of all the possible transformations
between a string and some other kind of data, which
ones deserve to be available via this rather strange
and special interface, and why?
