I'd much rather have my doctests and float-repr'ing code break on 2.7 so I can deal with it as part of a minor-version upgrade than have it break on 3.x and have to deal with this at the same time as the unicode->str explosion. It feels like a backport of this behavior would make the 2->3 transition itself a little easier.

I'm +0 on making the change, primarily for this reason.

We can reuse the vast majority of the code from 3.x.
