Imho, this is not equivalent to re-introducing automatic type conversion

It is not explicit, it is implicit - whether or not the resulting string

whether you pass a binary value (no assumption) or a string value (assumes
ASCII compatibility).
Nick, I don't understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that the result of b'%s' % var may be either a bytes
object or a str object? Because that would be wrong -- it would always be a bytes object.
