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.

I don't think any doc updates are necessary. Those
methods that don't need fixing don't have any
documentation that is specific to objects that
implement the buffer interface.
Likewise for tests. I couldn't find any existing tests for
objects that implement the buffer interface - maybe
because the core doesn't include any objects that
can be tested.

Are there any doc updates necessary? If so that should be
included in the patch.
Tests need to be added to verify objects that implement the
buffer interface works for all affected code.
