Summary: print to unicode stream should __unicode

Initial Comment:
To make __unicode__ parallel to __str__ in what seems
like the right way, print >>f,x should check for
__unicode__ if f is a unicode-enabled stream

I'm not sure I understand: what is a "unicode stream".

All streams in Python are considered byte streams and
(currently) have no encoding attached. Changing that
would require a lot of work, some of which is under way.

Still, the best way to deal with this is to first encode Unicode
to a string using a known stream encoding and then sending
off the 8-bit data from the encoding process to the stream.
