interface{ []byte | string }              // bytestring

<p>
Note that <code>bytestring</code> is not a real type; it cannot be used to declare
variables or compose other types. It exists solely to describe the behavior of some
operations that read from a sequence of bytes, which may be a byte slice or a string.
