I haven't checked the code to make sure, but I suspect that where the 
documentation says "string" it actually means anything implementing the 
buffer API at the C level, which will then be interpreted as a block of 
memory. That job is being taken over by bytes/buffer objects in 3.0.

Cheers,
Nick.
