[New-bugs-announce] [issue15958] bytes.join() should allow arbitrary buffer objects

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

This should ideally succeed:

>>> b''.join([memoryview(b'foo'), b'bar'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected bytes, memoryview found

(ditto for bytearray.join)
