so you can use quote_from_bytes on strings? I assumed Guido meant it was
okay to have quote accept string/byte input and have a function that was
redundant but limited in what it accepted (i.e. quote_from_bytes accepts
only bytes)

I suppose your implementation doesn't break anything... it just strikes me
as "odd"
