Description

A string is required to create one of the binary types. Would it be possible to have a constructor accepting bytes that doesn't set the stringValue before serializing it? This would allow RumbleDB to efficiently deal with intermediate binaries where serializing them isn't necessary (imagine a query that downloads an image and returns what objects are in it as text)

Research direction

Start by locating the base64Binary and hexBinary implementations and tracing how their string values are created before serialization. Determine how a byte-accepting constructor could defer that work while preserving the existing serialized output, then add or update tests covering construction and serialization.
