As discussed on IRC mainly with moritz I'd need a way to get the number of bytes, not elements, of a Buf object so it can be looped and each byte accessed with $buf.[$idx]. I'm requiring this in DBDish::Oracle for passing UTF-16 encoded values and their byte-length to the OCI C library using NativeCall.
