no. the representations in memory are not the same. you need to do something like Array(bytes.size) { bytes[it] } to box. i don't think there's built-in array boxing functions

There's `toTypedArray`: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/to-typed-array.html

Huh. I only ever used that on Collection subtypes. Didn't know it had receiver overloads for primitive arrays
