Summary: Improved support for unicode conversions

Initial Comment:
This patch is designed to increase the flexibility of 
the unicode conversion function. The proposed strategy 
is:

def unicode( val )
    if type( val ) == type.UnicodeType:
        return val
    else:
        return str_to_unicode( str( val ) )

This makes it possible to perform operations such as:

unicode( 5 ) => u'5'

without generating an exception.
