Hmm, indeed. How about:
1) memoryview(a, format='B')
Shadows a builtin function; annoying syntax highlighting in current Vim.
2) memoryview(a, fmt='B')
I'm fully expecting a comment about 'strpbrk' again, but I like it. :)
Also, we've to see about speed implications. My current version of memoryview
(not pushed yet to the public repo) also solves #10227, but is pretty sensitive
even to small changes.
