Then just use bytearray.
I think the only new part is to provide a literal syntax for bytearray:
a = a"xyz" # same as bytearray(b"xyz")
But we already have a bunch of prefixes:
b B u U r R f F plus various combinations
and this would presumably add six more:
a A ar aR Ar AR
Literal syntax is a convenience, its not essential, so I guess this
proposal requires justification for why bytearray is important enough to
justify literal syntax.
