has been liberalized to warn for values that aren't even string
values, such as integers; previously, the updated warning system
of 1.0 made use of string formatting operations which
would raise an internal TypeError. While these cases should ideally
raise totally, some backends like SQLite and MySQL do accept them
and are potentially in use by legacy code, not to mention that they
will always pass through if unicode conversion is turned off
for the target backend.
