I found a bug in the str type that may affect a lot of tests.

In the py3k-struni branch the str() constructor doesn't use str when the argument is an instance of a subclass of str. A user defined string can't change str(). The repr method isn't affected.

This hasn't been rewired yet. Behind the covers str still behaves like unicode, i.e. it uses unicode for conversion.

Servus, Walter
