18719	django.utils.encoding.smart_unicode/smart_str handle strings_only inconsistently	Aymeric Augustin	Aymeric Augustin	"`smart_unicode` calls `is_protected_type`, `smart_str` just checks for `None` and `int`.

It seems to me that `smart_str` should rely on `is_protected_type` too, for consistency.

If there's a reason for implementing a different check, it should be at least explained in a comment."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Utilities	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
