That is correct.
Unless I'm missing something, all algorithms that can work faster on
arrays will need to be adapted to also recognize byChar-wrapped arrays,
unwrap them, perform the fast array operation, and wrap them back in a
byChar.
Good point. Off the top of my head I can't remember any algorithm that
relies on array representation to do better on arrays than on
random-access ranges offering all of arrays' primitives. But I'm sure
there are a few.
