Hi,

My main use case is populating SingleSelectFields - my fledgling tw2
framework uses roughly [(x.id, unicode(x)) for x in Table.query.all()]
to populate these. Having __unicode__ defined is important. It's much
better to use this rather than __str__ so my applications are unicode
safe end-to-end. This isn't just tw2 craziness; Django takes the same
approach.

So all I want is a shorter way of defining the __unicode__ method.
Your idea of UnicodeEntity is definitely better than my current
approach. I would like to save another line and be able to say
"tounicode=True" but maybe that is a bad idea.
