A byteString is a sequence of bytes (octets) with any value from 0 to
255. A byteString cannot be modified, see varByteString for a mutable
byteString.
The C implementation uses a sequence of bytes. Conversion to and from
string does not involve changes.
The Javascript implementation uses a sequence of characters. Conversion
to and from string involves using the characters as utf-8 bytes and
requires work.
