>>> from quixote.html import htmltext
>>> x = htmltext("Some string.")
>>> assert isinstance(x, basestring)
AssertionError
>>> "".join(["ABC", x])
TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string, htmltext found
>>> from qpy import u8
>>> y = h8("Some string.")
>>> assert isinstance(y, basestring)
>>> "".join(["ABC", y])
u'ABCSome string.'

I can't quite capture the Unicode problem.

>>> unicode(htmltext(U'\xa9')
u'\xa9'
>>> unicode(htmltext('\xa9'))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)

But that in itself is not strictly htmltext's fault.  Maybe the
previous tests are enough.
