It's about as sane as you can get in a world where ints don't have any fixed size. Bytes objects will have a size, on the other hand, and it makes sense to take notice of it. BTW, is anyone else bothered that the term "bytes object" is a bit cumbersome? Also confusing as to whether it's singular or plural. Could we perhaps call it a bytevector or bytearray or something?
