Kevin: that's an excellent analogy.
If some languages defined an `even` type, should we expose that to thrift? I
am arguing that there are two consistent alternatives:
- expose an `even` type and make thrift responsible for raising an error if a
client passes a non-even int (in languages where this is possible)
- don't expose `even` at all and make everyone use int so it's explicit what
the expectations are
what we have now is, in effect, everyone using the closest "native" type they
have to `even` which is in some cases not necessarily even at all, which leads
to strange errors when sending one of those to a language that _does_ have
native `even`s.

> Effectively, all strings in the python bindings are treated as binary strings
> -- no encoding/decoding to UTF-8 is done. So if a unicode object is passed
> to a (regular, non-binary) string, an exception is raised.
