I think the contiguous requirement is only given in a correction
report, not in the standard itself. But my point was that if the OP
only needed a simple byte bucket, he could just allocate one without
complicating matters with a full-blown object. It's more efficient
because the multi-byte processing function only works with simple byte
buckets.
