What is the use case for bytearray.fromord? Even in the rare case someone needs it, why not bytearray(bchr(...))?

Yes, this was my point: I don't think that we need a bytearray method to create a mutable string from a single byte.

I agree with the above. Having an easy way to turn an int into a bytes object is good. But I think the built-in bchr() function on its own is enough. Just like we have bytes object literals, but the closest we have for a bytearray literal is bytearray(b". . .").
