I'm starting on converting some of our templates.  It looks like a
per-module switch is not going to work.  For example, if the Quixote
form framework is converted to use the magic literals then stuff will
probably end up getting quoted when it shouldn't.

Unfortunately a subclass of str will not work due to a bug in 2.2.  I
filed a bug and it should be fixed in 2.3 but until then we will have to
use a wrapper around str instead of a subclass.
