When precision is needed I say things like 'a str object' or 'a bytes
object'. There is no shame in a bit of verbosity around such issues,
especially in the reference docs (tutorials are a different issue).

Saying that input arguments can be "Unicode strings as well as 8-bit strings'

"8-bit strings" seems somewhat ambiguous to me. In UTF-8, many Unicode strings
are 8-bi
