I imagine many people are like me, with __str__ being the only one of these hooks they use frequently (Helping out with the Decimal implementation is the only time I can recall using the slots for the numeric types, and I rarely need to deal with Unicode).
Anyway, they're heavy use suggests to me that __str__ and str() are likely to provide a good model for the desired behaviour - they're the ones that are likely to have been nudged in the most useful direction by bug reports and the like.

__foo__ provides conversion to foo, no matter whether foo is among the direct or indirect base classes.
Simply moving the PyUnicode_Check() call in PyObject_Unicode() after the
__unicode__ call (after the PyErr_Clear() call) will implement this (but does not fix Nick's bug). Running the test suite with this change
reveals no other problems.
