So, if i call ns_return from Tcl and pass data parameter, it will be
always type of String. ByteArrays are created from Tcl by binary command
only, other commands work with String types, so i need to tell ns_return
to treat data as bytearray. Tcl string
can contain binary data but it is still String and that check will never
work for binary data.

I think it's fine to also alow ns_return to handle binary data, I'm
just wondering if it should be with the extra command ns_returnbinary?
It looks like you can simple check the type of the Tcl object passed
to ns_return for "bytearray". That's the only case it makes sense to
write the bytes directly.
The advantage over ns_returnbinary is that in many cases the uses
doesn't have to know what's going on. e.g. a command which creates a
png graph would be returned as a byte array, and if passed to
ns_return everything should just work.

ns_respond now supports binary so ns_returnbinary is redundant, but i
think Tcl_GetByteArray works with string and byte array, just
Tcl_GetByteArray does not do eny encoding/converting to/From utf.

We're strugeling for tests, but tclresp.c is one file that does have a
reasonably complete set. Can you add some for the new commands?
Also, the cut 'n paste comment for Ns_ObjvByteArray is no longer
correct.
I was wondering, is ns_returnbinary necessary? What if ns_return was
modified to check the type of it's data arg, and if it's byterray,
send using Ns_ConnReturnData. Would this work?
