Please fork it.

It is well-defined? Then please explain me what the general case of
  b'%s' % x
is supposed to call:

- does it call x.__bytes__? int.__bytes__ doesn't exist
- does it call bytes(x)? bytes(10) gives
  b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
- does it call x.__str__? you've reintroduced the Python 2 behaviour of
  conflating bytes and unicode

Regards

Antoine.
