Looking at CREATE, you build up a byte array one byte at a time with
"c," after each byte, and the result is not const, so it's not quite
what I was hoping for... However, I came across hex strings, i.e.
" "(A1 B2)" will directly encode those 2 bytes into a string, which can
be used as a byte array. I kinda like the hex string idea, but what's
your preference?
