It works like `str()`, but you get ascii-encoded bytes (or an exception if
that's not possible).
The difference with the built-in ascii is the absence of extra quotes and the
`b` indicator when a string is used:
```
>>> u_var = u'abc'
>>> b_var = b'abc'
>>> str(u_var)
'abc'
>>> str(b_var)
"b'abc'"
>>> ascii(b_var)
"b'abc'"
>>> b'%a' % (u_var) # the docs will be updated to refer to %a as "ascii-repr"
b"'abc'" # as it mirrors %r but only returns ascii-encoded bytes
>>> bytes.ascii(u_var)
b'abc'
