Message-ID: <87oc9jepw1.fsf@stupidchicken.com> (raw)

What's the purpose of the new byte-to-string function?  I'm trying to
document it, but the docstring is uninformative about what it can be
used for.

Also, if the integer argument is supposed to be a byte, shouldn't it be
error to give it something larger than 255?  Instead the function
returns something, but I have no idea what that string represents.
