[PD] request for objections: any2string -> unsigned char

[Bryan Jurish]

morning all,

On 2009-01-15 22:51:14, Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans at eds.org> appears to
have written:

OK.  I guess I'll make unsigned values the default for [any2string]
then, postponing the issue of name change to [any2bytes] rsp.
[bytes2any] to a hypothetical future in which the "string" suffix
implies unicode or other non-byte-oriented representation.

marmosets,
