[Barry Warsaw, on auto-str()]

Should it be auto-unicode(), given that Template is derived from unicode? And if so, should we entertain the possibility of insanities like giving the user the ability to pass optional arguments to the unicode() call? If the answers to that are yes and no, that's fine with me.

unicode ... heh, I heard something about that in Java once. Did Python grow one of those too? I sure hope it doesn't get in the way of using God-given American strings!
