How do we intend to manipulate raw binary in Perl6? Perl5's use
bytes; pragma is rather poor (forcing all strings to be raw in its
scope or requiring do {use bytes; ...} type tricks to deal with them)
and now Perl6 has real typing perhaps it would be more usefull to have
a bytestring type (or and octect string type) that doesn't get
utf8ed.-- Please excuse my spelling as I suffer from agraphia. See http://dformosa.zeta.org.au/~dformosa/Spelling.html to find out more. Free the Memes.
