I've done the 'landmark' thing as well, in the string context; that can be very useful when doing incremental test driven development. (Granted, you could do that with bytes; Can't you do it more easily just by wrapping ascii() around the argument? That seems sufficient for debugging purposes to me.

The problem there is ascii() still returns unicode (okay, okay, str), so you still have to encode it.
