[issue13641] decoding functions in the base64 module could accept unicode strings

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

OK, I skimmed the thread I was remembering, and while it was discussing str->str and bytes->bytes primarily, the only pronouncement I could find was that functions should not accept a *mix* of bytes and string.  So I guess I withdraw my objection, although it still makes me a bit uncomfortable.
