Description

import bytes from "./photo.png" with { type: "bytes" };

The bytes are returned as a Uint8Array backed by an immutable arraybuffer.

This seems fine to me. The one bit that might be slightly surprising is that the view is backed by an immutable buffer, but that makes sense in principle. Modulo concerns from JSC folks I think we should resolve this as "position: support" one week from now.

Given no objections have been raised ill mark this as support.
