| CUE distinguishes between a `string` and a `bytes` type. |
| Bytes are converted to base64 when emitting JSON. |
| Byte literals are defined with single quotes. |
| The following additional escape sequences are allowed in byte literals: |
| |
| \xnn // arbitrary byte value defined as a 2-digit hexadecimal number |
| \nnn // arbitrary byte value defined as a 3-digit octal number |
| <!-- jba: this contradicts the spec, which has \nnn (no leading zero) --> |
