Add support for byte arrays #113

Open dibyendumajumdar opened 7 years ago

dibyendumajumdar commented 7 years ago

Ravi has integer arrays and number arrays. In practice integer arrays are almost never needed. However if we had a byte array concept then that could be used to manipulate buffers using bitwise ops.

Don't strings already fulfill this role?

not really as it is not possible to access individual elements in a string efficiently
