    If *obj* is not iterable, return a one-item iterable containing *obj*::

        >>> obj = 1

    If *obj* is ``None``, return an empty iterable:

    By default, binary and text strings are not considered iterable::

    If *base_type* is set, objects for which ``isinstance(obj, base_type)``
    returns ``True`` won't be considered iterable.

        ['a']
        >>> list(always_iterable(obj, base_type=dict))  # Treat dicts as a unit
        [{'a': 1}]

    Set *base_type* to ``None`` to avoid any special handling and treat objects
    Python considers iterable as iterable:

        >>> obj = 'foo'
        >>> list(always_iterable(obj, base_type=None))
