This works in Spur because ByteArray can now adopt an instance of WordArray,
is that right?
Does the test work on big endian 64-bit? I think that it will, but if there
is any doubt it might be safer to use a two element WordArray:
WordArray with: 16r01020304 with: 16r01020304
The method comment describes the old String implementation, so it would be
good to update that.
