I was thinking about Ethan's suggestion of introducing a new bytestring

class could do.
Suppose we take a pure-ASCII byte-string and decode it:
b'abcd'.decode('ascii-compatible')
That would be:
bytestring(b'abcd')
or even:
bytestring('abcd')
[snip]
Suppose we take a byte-string with a non-ASCII byte:
b'abc\xFF'.decode('ascii-compatible')
That would be:
bytestring(b'abc\xFF')
Bytes outside the ASCII range would be mapped to Unicode low
surrogates:
bytestring(b'abc\xFF') == bytestring('abc\uDCFF')
Not sure what you mean here. The resulting bytes should be 'abc\xFF' and of
length 4.
