Anyway, if we really do have enough use cases for byte array literals, we might add them. I still think that would be confusing though, because byte arrays are most useful if they are mutable: and then we'd have mutable literals -- blechhhh!
Not if they work like list or dictionary "literals". That is, if they're just short for 'array("B","literal here")'.
