That doesn't work. A byte-string is not a sequence of characters from
the ASCII repertoire, it's a sequence of characters from the repertoire
{ASCII set, characters numbered 129 through 255 with uncertain semantics}.
Well, except on EBCDIC machines, where the repertoire is that of some
unspecified EBCDIC code page.
