New submission from Ethan Furman:
`bytes` is a list of integers. Passing a single integer to `bytes()`, as in:
--> bytes(7)
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
results in a bytes object containing that many zeroes.
I propose that this behavior be deprecated for eventual removal, and a class method be created to take its place.
