It seems like it would introduce significant complications to try to support any architecture with a non-octet byte (i.e. an architecture that does not have an 8-bit type). Perhaps it is best for this library to just completely ignore such architectures, since they are extremely rare anyway.
Current architectures without 8-bit bytes don't do any kind of file I/O or similar, AFAIK.
