Work since the introduction of ensure_native_string() has shown that being able to make use the function is limited by its inclusion of the base package. Allow the function to be used everywhere by using only the Python standard library for its operation.
This sidesteps any potential for circular imports and ensures well tested string conversion is available for the definition of e.g. base itself.
