Still, I expect that having a bunch of string-ish methods on bytes arrays would be convenient for certain types of data handling. Of course, only those methods that don't care about character types would be added, but that's a long list: startswith, endswith, index, rindex, find, rfind, split, rsplit, join, count, replace, translate.
I've often wished lists had startswith and endswith, and somewhat less often wished they had split or rsplit. Those seem like things that are generally applicable to sequences, not just strings or bytes.
