I'm beginning to think that we need an extra method (text), that can return any kind of string that's compatible with Python's text model.

While we're at it, that would be a good opportunity to add the index method (for int-like objects that actually support indexing). That would get rid of the issues with using floats as inappropriate inputs. Can't require index until 3.0, but we can start making it available.
