Can you explain why you believe that no warning is necessary?

Ah... mostly out of ignorance, I fear. I did not realize there were strange cases like u"\xff" == "\xff". I will leave this to more unicode-minded people to decide, but I'm still definitely of the idea that the eq should not raise an exception.

A bientot,
