Given that there are valid use cases for bytes-to-bytes translations,
and a common API for them would be nice, does it make sense to have an
additional category of codec that is invoked via specific recoding
methods on bytes objects? For example:
encoded = data.encode_bytes('bz2')
decoded = encoded.decode_bytes('bz2')
assert data == decoded
Cheers,
Nick.
