This would apply to codecs that could return either bytes or strings, or strings or unicode, or bytes or unicode.

I'd need to see some concrete examples of such codecs before being convinced that they exist, or that they couldn't just as well return a fixed type that you then transform to what you want.

I suspect that said transformation would involve some further encoding or decoding, in which case you really have more than one codec.
