[IronPython] How to convert from byte[] to str ?

[Dino Viehland]

The best reference is probably going to be IronPython.xml which contains 
all of the doc comments pulled out.  Other than that there's not really a 
good reference for these.

And unfortunately it's further complicated  by the fact that some things 
in PythonOps are really pretty static and meant are fine for consumption 
by anyone.  Other things are really just calls that we need to emit from 
generated code and so they need to be somewhere and public.
