How would you embed raw bytes if the string was unicode? The most direct notation would be bytes("delimited packet\x00") However, people might not understand what is happening, and Guido doesn't like it if the bytes are >127.

I guess that was a bad example, what if the delimiter was \xff? I know that map(ord, u'delimited packet\xff') would get correct results.. but I don't think I like that either.
