And, quite separately, we will need a common base type for bytes and buffer. I think that should be an ABC in the collections module though, which simply registers bytes and buffer. Any suggestions for a name?
BinaryData, RawData. I use both 'binary' and 'raw' in my variable names when I have used bytes so that's why those names pop into my head.
