New submission from Jorge Cardona: Hi,
I think UserString must play nicely with other standard objects to be useful. For example, right now is not possible to join a list of UserString with a string. This shouldn't fail: from UserString import UserString '.'.join([UserString('some')]) but it fails in 2.7 and it fails too with 3.2 (replacing with collections). I'm assuming most of the user of UserString, use it as a replacement of a string, and it would be great to actually be able to replace strings passed to thid parties with userstrings. I imagine there would be some edge situations harder to resolve, but if someone is just using standard libraries it should be safe to pass a string or an userstring.
