We could make % on a Unicode literal do something special much like
we're doing for calls to unicode(...). Alternately we could make %
try to invoke __unicode__ before __str__ - but that would sometimes
be wrong. Probably not very often, it's hard to imagine someone
defining __unicode__ and expecting __str__ to be returned with
a significant difference.
Fixing up u"..." literals is probably the lowest impact change,
especially for a point release. You never know what crazy stuff people
might do.
Yeah - u'%s' % foo is basically equivalent to u'%s' % unicode(foo)
anyway...
Of course if you had a *really* good type inferencer that you could use
at compile time then you could infer a few places where names *must* be
bound to unicode strings (trace unicode literals or the results of calls
to unicode) and catch a few more places to fix up as well.
Possibly a bit out of scope though...
