def BeautifulSoup.NavigableString.__new__	(		cls,

Create a new NavigableString.

When unpickling a NavigableString, this method is called with
the string in DEFAULT_OUTPUT_ENCODING. That encoding needs to be
passed in to the superclass's __new__ or the superclass won't know
how to handle non-ASCII characters.
