Description
Some binary data cannot be represented in an &str, so functions that take &[u8] are necessary. Unless I misunderstand or am using the wrong tool.
Use case is programing Marvell ARMADA 3700 over serial port.

Research direction

Determine the binary-data API needed for the serial-port use case, then verify the resulting behavior with focused coverage while preserving existing text handling.
