Byte literals are specified using a b declaration prefix followed by
bytes represented as a sequence of characters, two-place hexadecimal
values (for example, b'\x0F', not b'\xF'), or three-place octal
values (for example, b'\000', not b'\0'). Character sequences are
interpreted as UTF-8 encoded strings.

Functions for the Bytes type are provided to aid comparison of byte
sequences represented as Base64url- and hexadecimal-encoded strings.
