Hi Eliot,

My gut feeling tells me: please go right ahead. I find it irritating how
some ByteStrings are really just bytes with the "wrong" type anyway. That
you can look at strings of bytes through those two different lenses always
reminds me of C and that does not feel well. ;-)

Besides, if you process UTF-16 bytes, why not use DoubleByteArray?

Kind regards,
Jakob
