But why wouldn't "they" expect b'de' + 1 to work as well in this case? If a 1-byte bytes is equivalent to an integer, why not an arbitrary one as well? The result of this must obviously be b"de1". I hope you're joking. At best, the result should be b"de\x01".

Actually, if b'd'+1 returns b'e' an equivalent behavior should be that b'de'+1 returns b'df'.
