https://gist.github.com/brettcannon/b3719f54715787d54a206bc011869aa1 has the four potential approaches implemented (although it doesn't follow the "separate functions" approach some are proposing and instead goes with the allowbytes approach I originally proposed). Number 4 is my personal favorite - it has a simple control flow path and is the least needlessly restrictive.

Number 3: it allows bytes, but only when told it's okay to do so. Having code get a bytes object when one is not expected is not a headache we need to inflict on anyone.
