On the one hand, I agree with you - except for the part where it's a
subtype of String, that doesn't work. In case I haven't mentioned it
enough times already:

On the other hand, we've all been on this merry-go-round before:

Note especially the rejection notice: "Subclassing from str is a
particularly bad idea".
Again, one day I'd really like to add one of these to Python. Now is
not the time.
