Sorry,
I was not clear in my question...

What I meant to say is that I need to convert an existing application
that uses strings (AnsiString) as binary data buffers to instead use
TBytes buffers. Thus my quest is for functions operating like the
convenient string functions but on TBytes arrays.

All of this is because I have found that using AnsiString is
triggering data changes when the application is running in certain
countries (locales) and processing certain data values...

The application was started back in Delphi7 times when "string"
actually meant AnsiString and was a 1-byte per element container.

By efficient I meant that I probably would write inefficient code if I
had to create things like the mentioned functions myself and if the
compiler did the job it would be more efficient.
