Ah, but it's not string literals we're worried about here - it's
objects that implement __str__ or __unicode__.
class Foo(object):
def __str__(self):
return 'Foo str'
def __unicode__(self):
return 'Foo unicode'
>>> f = Foo()
>>> str(f)
'Foo str'
>>> unicode(f)
'Foo str'
This is bad for Django.
Besides, u'...' and '...' are identical in IronPython anyway - every
string literal is already unicode.
