I could easily argue at this point that this is the type of bug that
having %-formatting operations on bytes would encourage - %s means
"format a string" (from years of C and Python (text) experience) so I
automatically supply a string argument when using %s in a bytes
formatting context.
So don't call it %s -- call it something else
such as %b.
Which is fine for 3.5+ code, but not at all helpful for a 2/3 code base.
