Jython 2.2.1 on java1.6.0_03

the % operator for string concatenation behaves unexpectedly for unicode
strings. I suspect this is a bug.

  File "/tmp/trouble4Jython.py", line 20, in ?
UnicodeError: ascii decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

This is an issue with the pep 263 support which is a 2.3 feature.  The
prod version of Jython (2.2) will not support this, but future versions
will.  I've set the version to 2.5alpha1 to reflect this.

Even without the pep 263 feature,
unicode strings can be combined with '+' but not '%'.

def getAraLetters():
     return ''.join([unichr(num) for num in xrange(1569,1617)])

newString = u""" The Arabic Letters: """+ getAraLetters()
newString = u""" Here are some Arabic letters %s """ % (getAraLetters())

okay -- I've assigned this bug to myself, I'll take a look at the
behavior in 2.2.

Both tests (trouble4Jython and the interactive session posted on the
last message) don't crash anymore on trunk.
