Yeah, I suppose not. But that does raise of question of why bytes objects were made to have a specific form of string representation in the first place, instead of the generic object address repr. I suspect that it might be for historical or arbitrary reasons. But, that's likely an entirely different topic. I'll leave it at that so I don't derail the main topic.
