OK, I've completed the initial pass through all the methods. Remaining items:
* add back the guarantees where str will return the same object, add those guarantees for bytes where applicable
* address the review comments from Zach and Ezio
There are a couple of review comments about removing duplication that I'd like to skip addressing for now. I think they're reasonable ideas, but I also think it's a lot easier to go wrong with DRY in docs than it is in code. Indeed, this whole matter of not documenting the bytes behaviour in the first place was a matter of assuming folks could just infer the binary behaviour from the text behaviour.
