I don't like adding such a primitive.  We don't want to proliferate
unibyte strings in Emacs through that back door, because manipulating
unibyte strings involves subtle issues many Lisp programmers are not
aware of.

Instead, how about doing that via vectors of byte values?  If there
are Emacs primitives that currently only accept strings, we could
extend them.
