Agreed, we should implement support for Bytes, except I think we
shouldn't rename RawStr to it, but rather use Bytes exclusively to
represent the new "bytes" type, offering people the chance of a smooth
migration (Python 2.6 has both strings and bytes).
Out of curiosity, the name of RawStr is also like that to avoid
confusion with the upcoming naming conventions. "str" in Python 3.0
is actually unicode, so it'll be natural to have Str in Storm some day
to represent it.
