028's bytes alone as a state, made: module state type 6 read as a text state flagged PURE_TEXT_BYTES in state_flags (so serve's same_states compares it for queries and replaces), its TEXT_LOAD giving bytes and its TEXT_SET taking them, a cursor's ops on it refused (anchor in bytes) and an anchor in it refused at load; one store file text-NAME, the values record marking each bytes state (kind 7, its name, 8 zero bytes), a text state's file that is no UTF-8 its initial value when marked and store_error when not (as before); a replace carrying bytes to a text only when its draft is UTF-8, else opening the store's draft anew; pure-run shows a bytes state's hex; unit test bytes_states (seven starts from a store: 0xff and 0x00 kept, bytes to text to bytes to text with no UTF-8 and with it; three replaces; four refused); counts: b47 against b46 BFS with batches +0.12%, the rest within 0.001%; the bank's queries (s45 and s47 in turns, six each, bytes compared among them) in_credit -0.31%, per_branch -0.18%, ranks -0.11%, the rest within 0.01%, the seven answers the same bytes; Pure, Vega and aup checks green; 008, 028
