 * The following object type represents an array of bytes.  An array of

 * 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.

 * UpdateStringOfByteArray --

 * Side effects:
 *	The object's string is set to a valid string that results from
 *	the ByteArray-to-string conversion.
 *
 *	The object becomes a string object -- the internal rep is
 *	discarded and the typePtr becomes NULL.
