[Python-3000] Thoughts on new I/O library and bytecode

[Thomas Wouters]

I'm not sure what makes you say that. There isn't anyone actually using
bytes() right now, so what makes you think how it's created? Besides, lists
can be created with list("foo") too, but they still repr() as ['f', 'o',
'o'].
