This makes me think I want an unsigned byte type, which b[0] would return. Come to think of it, this is something I don't remember seeing discussed. I've been thinking that bytes[i] would return an integer, but is the intention that it would return another bytes object?

A related question: what would bytes([104, 101, 108, 108, 111, 8004])
return? An exception hopefully. I also think you'd want bytes([x
for x in some_bytes_object]) to return an object equal to the original.
