OK - didn't realize that. Not sure it would really improve the
behaviour all that much anyway.

Anything that really needs to know the difference and support
IronPython can just check `str is unicode` anyway.

Random thought: str(x, yes_really=True) to always call __str__? :)

How about having str and unicode as different objects internally - so IronPython can tell the difference - but fake equality and identity checks *inside* IronPython. :-)

Or do something a bit similar to what Python 3 does with super... Compile different code for str(...) and unicode(...). I think I prefer that to the above. :-)
