I wish folks would use `u8 *` when they mean "byte array". Maybe the attitude should just be -- use u8 for bytes, s8 for signed bytes, and char for characters/strings. Declare any use of char for something non-stringy forbidden, and call it a day. Yes, obviously u8 and s8 are just typedefs, but they're a lot more explicit of intent. Jason
