 * The following object type represents an array of bytes. An array of bytes
 * is not equivalent to an internationalized string. Conceptually, a string is
 * an array of 16-bit quantities organized as a sequence of properly formed
 * UTF-8 characters, while a ByteArray is an array of 8-bit quantities.
 * Accessor functions are provided to convert a ByteArray to a String or a
 * String to a ByteArray. Two or more consecutive bytes in an array of bytes
 * may look like a single UTF-8 character if the array is casually treated as
 * a string. But obtaining the String from a ByteArray is guaranteed to
 * produced properly formed UTF-8 sequences so that there is a one-to-one map
 * between bytes and characters.
 *
 * Converting a ByteArray to a String proceeds by casting each byte in the
 * array to a 16-bit quantity, treating that number as a Unicode character,
 * and storing the UTF-8 version of that Unicode character in the String. For
 * ByteArrays consisting entirely of values 1..127, the corresponding String
 * representation is the same as the ByteArray representation.
 *
 * Converting a String to a ByteArray proceeds by getting the Unicode
 * representation of each character in the String, casting it to a byte by
 * truncating the upper 8 bits, and then storing the byte in the ByteArray.
 * Converting from ByteArray to String and back to ByteArray is not lossy, but
 * converting an arbitrary String to a ByteArray may be.
