Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing Encode and Decode implementations for byte-like types, then identify the relevant serialization tests. Done means borrowed byte slices can be serialized and deserialized, including non-UTF-8 data, without requiring the serde feature.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This would allow bitcode to serialize/deserialize arbitrary bytes (like non utf-8 strings) to be serialized/deserialized without the serde feature
