UninterpretedBytes provides the common protocol for byte-storage
containers; concrete subclasses are
- ByteArray (which store the bytes within the Smalltalk object memory)
- String (knows that the bytes represent characters)
+ ByteArray (which store the bytes within the Smalltalk object memory)
+ String (knows that the bytes represent characters)
and
- ExternalBytes (which store the bytes in the malloc-heap).
+ ExternalBytes (which store the bytes in the malloc-heap).
UninterpretedBytes itself is abstract, so no instances of it can be created.

[Notice:]
- Notice the confusion due to multiple methods with the same
- functionality (i.e. 'xxxx:MSB:' vs. 'xxxx:bigEndian:').
- The reason is that at the time this class was written,
- ST80 sid not offer protocol to specify the byteOrder, and
- ST/X provided methods ending in 'MSB:' for this.
- In the meanwhile, VW added protocol ending in 'bigEndian:',
- which has been added here for compatibility.
- (certainly a point, where an ansi-standard will help)
