What sort of arguments do they take?

Other bytes objects?  (Then the literal is more important.)

Unicode?  With an extra decoding argument?

Sequences of integers?  Is startswith(500) False or a ValueException?

Single integers? startswith(ord('A'))

+    Note the conspicuous absence of .isupper(), .upper(), and friends.

This does force the use of more regular expressions, by ruling out

data.upper().startswith("ERROR:")
