Summary: Inconsistent use of buffer interface in string and unicode

Initial Comment:
String and unicode objects allow objects that  
implement the buffer interface to be used in  
method arguments where a string is expected in  
most cases - but it's not completely consistent.  
  
Examples where the buffer interface is ignored  
include all the strip methods, the format  
methods, the just methods (for strings but  not 
unicode) and the "in" operator (for strings but not 
unicode). 
 
The attached patch implements the missing 
bits.
