As you guess, this isn't correct. For example, `_(unicode_sring)` will crash
if gettext is enabled.

I don't know why ValueError is used extensively in exchange.py and where it's
supposed to be caught, but the easiest workaround is to make a ValueError
subclass that implements __bytes__.

```
class ExchangeValueError(ValueError):
    __bytes__ = _tobytes
```
