  Patch # 1140 (my code, approved by Effbot).

  Make sure the type of the return value of re.sub(x, y, z) is the type
  of y+x (i.e. unicode if either is unicode, str if they are both str)
  even if there are no substitutions or if x==z (which triggered various
  special cases in join_list()).

  Could be backported to 2.5; no need to port to 3.0.
