That way lies the Python 2 text model, and we're not going there. It's
probably best to think of asciistr as a way of demonstrating a
rhetorical point about the superiority of the Python 3 text model
Hmmm... something like "The Python 3 text model is so
superior that we have to use this weird hack to write
something that makes perfectly good semantic sense
but is very awkward to write otherwise" ?-)
Anyhow, I've now convinced myself that asciistr as
a type is completely unnecessary -- see earlier post.
