Howdy,

two small comments:

1)
just as a quick check, I did a Python search for exactly
that phrase

https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=bytes-like+object&check_keywords=yes&area=default

with zero results.

Maybe it would be a good thing if glossary entries were always
found via the search page.

2)
And about this glossary entry:

"An object that supports the Buffer Protocol"
- can I take that for granted, as a real definition, meaning

"""an object is bytes-like iff it supports the buffer protocol"""?

cheers - Chris
