Subject: [PATCH] Monkey-patch .decode() method to our strings as a temporary
compat crutch
As a temporary crutch to support faster deployment of the sane
string behavior on python3, monkey-patch a decode method into all
strings we return. This seems to be enough to fix practically all
API users who have already adapted to the long-standing broken API
on Python 3. API users compatible with both Python 2 and 3 never needed
this anyway. Issue a warning with pointer to the relevant bug when the
fake decode() method is used to alert users to the issue.
This is certainly an evil thing to do and will be removed as soon as
the critical users have been fixed to work with the new, corrected
behavior.
