Certainly. Think about the other case: A developer who is still using
utf8 encoded bytestrings would use

gettext('blablabla %s blablalba') % \
  "utf8 bytestring with funny รครค chars"

If gettext returned unicode, python would decode the utf8 encoded
bytestring, again using ASCII as default encoding -> exception galore ;-)

And what function should be used for the usual _()?

Unfortunately, I don't have a nice solution to this at hand, either.
