Is this paragraph necessary? It seems obvious just given the section and table headings.

Thanks, Martin. You're right. I wasn't quite sure where to place this overall and thought there would probably be suggestions, so I kept it vague. There wasn't a section that combined both text and binary sequence types before and I didn't know if people would like having str and bytes (and bytearray) types all in one table or if there should be a separate table for each one under the existing sections.
