Right, but it seems to me that a new helper module that could be made backwards compatible at least as far as 2.6 (if not further) would be more useful for that than a builtin change that won't be available until 2015.
More useful in the short term, less useful in the long term.
An encodedstr type wouldn't implicitly interoperate with the builtins (until we finally fix the sequence operand coercion bug in CPython) but could at least handle formatting operations like this.
That's a crude hack. Also it doesn't address the situation where you want to interpolate bytestrings without them having any textual significance.
