What is the issue you are proposing to solve?

You linked to a couple of threads and stackoverflow pages, and you 
concluded from that that we should add get_bytes() and set_bytes() 
functions.  It's not obvious how you get from the former to the latter, 
and I don't think the functions you propose are well-designed in isolation.
