New submission from Brett Cannon: To help writing Python 2/3 code the -b flag should switch on a warning when comparing an int to a bytes object in Python 2. This will help when someone writes something like `b'abcd'[2] == b'c'` and it always returns False thanks to the indexing returning 99 in Python 3.
