+1 but I want to go just a little farther.

We can't change bytes.__getitem__ but we can add another method that returns
single byte objects?  I think it's still a bit of a pain to extract single
bytes even with .iterbytes().

Maybe .iterbytes can take a single index argument (blech) or add a method like
.byte_at(i).  I'll let you bikeshed on the name.
