Daniel Stutzbach <daniel at stutzbachenterprises.com> added the comment:
The example can be fixed by placing a "b" before the two string literals.
However, pretty much the whole document refers to "strings" and should refer to "byte sequences" or the "bytes" type.
I thought there were automated tests that exercised the documentation examples. Am I wrong about that?
