Why does ByteString need an unused dummy: Any? parameter which is always null? https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-io/blob/master/bytestring/common/src/ByteString.kt#L81

I assume so that it can be disambiguated from ByteString(data: ByteArray)

[kevin.cianfarini]

Yeah rather than a constructor type function I hope the maintainers end up going with fun ByteArray.toByteString()

[ephemient]

it's consistent with String this way though
