Because you can have binary strings and text strings... there is even a special literal for binary strings... b"\xffThis is a binary\x01\string" "This is a \u307 text string"
Calling it an IOBuffer makes it sound like it is specific to I/O, not just strings (binary or text) that you might never do I/O on...
