Description
Once we get to v3 and support C++17, we should add std::byte support in our APIs where it increases usability and accuracy.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the SDK APIs that currently use std::string or char arrays and identify where std::byte would improve usability or accuracy. Consider the stated v3 and C++17 context; done means the applicable APIs support std::byte without reducing the existing API's usefulness.
