Research direction

Start by reviewing the ctypes component and the linked ctype_bytearray.patch and ctypes_bytearray_2.patch, then check the dependency on bpo-22161. Compare the proposed changes with current ctypes behavior for bytearray objects; done means the supported behavior is implemented and the existing review concerns are resolved.
