* add bytes.zeros() and bytearray.zeros() as a replacement

b'\0' * n and bytearray(b'\0') * n look good replacements to me. No need to learn new method. And it works right now.

* add bytes.iterbytes(), bytearray.iterbytes() and memoryview.iterbytes()

What are use cases for this? I suppose that main use case may be writing the code compatible with 2.7 and 3.x. But in this case you need a wrapper (because these types in 2.7 have no the iterbytes() method). And how larger would be an advantage of this method over the map(bytes.byte, data)?
