Adding a special type is not a bad idea. We have to keep the code for loading BINSTRING opcodes anyway, so we might as well use it. It could be helpful for unit-testing our Python 2 compatibility support for pickle.

We should still fix array in 2.7 to accept unicode object for the typecode though.
