In <11. Bytes objects>, there should be a bytes-fill! procedure  
analogous to vector-fill! .  One provided by the implementation could  
be much faster than one implemented using basic byte operations.  An  
unoptimized implementation would be trivial to write.  If there is no  
such procedure, there shouldn't be a vector-fill! .
