I think this precision is sometimes useful and could lead to different results. At least long term I want to operate on a byte sequence and be able to return it, and let IDL handle the conversion to ByteString or Uint8Array as applicable.

Similar, if all you have is a list of things, you need the type to know what to turn that list into, no?
