At what performance cost?
Also:
>>> s = collections.UserString('spam and eggs')
>>> isinstance(s, str)
False
which pretty much makes UserString useless for any code that does static
checking or runtime isisinstance checks.
In any case, I was making a larger point that this same issue applies to
other builtins like float, int and more.
