(original) (raw)

+1 on the technical spec from me. The rationale needs work, but you already know that :)

For API consistency, I suggest explicitly noting that bytearray will also support the operation, generating a bytearray result.

I also suggest introducing the phrase "ASCII compatible segments in binary formats" somewhere, as the intended use case for \*all\* the ASCII assuming methods on the bytes and bytearray types, including this new one.

Cheers,
Nick.
