Brett: Well, I was more thinking along the lines of making join() recognise 
when it's been passed a bytes object, rather than changing the semantics of 
indexing bytes. That would be a bit overdramatic!

But if it's wontfix, it's wontfix.

Antoine: Yes, the str example was just for comparison, since the behaviour of 
bytes is generally supposed to be the same as str. (But I'm sure I could think 
of some silly examples where it could be used.) The bytes problem actually came 
up in code I was writing... though I later ripped it out and did it 
differently...
