Since a code object is immutable, the proposed bytearray display form
would still require an internal operation that constructs a bytearray
from a bytes object. For example, something like the following:
BUILD_BYTEARRAY 0
LOAD_CONST 0 (b'spam')
BYTEARRAY_EXTEND 1

Concatenating a sequence with a number shouldn't be allowed. OTOH, I
think `foo += [255]` should be supported as foo.extend([255]), but
bytearray doesn't allow it currently. `foo.append(255)` is supported.
