- `fromord` to replace the mistaken purpose of the default constructor
To replace a bogus bytes(obj)? If someone writes bytes(obj) but expect
to create a byte string from an integer, why not using bchr() to fix
the code?
The problem with only having `bchr` is that it doesn't help with `bytearray`;
the problem with not having `bchr` is who wants to write `bytes.fromord`?
So we need `bchr`, and we need `bytearray.fromord`; and since the major
difference between `bytes` and `bytearray` is that one is mutable and one is
not, `bytes` should also have `fromord`.
