Bytes in java are signed values [-128,127]. I've submitted a ticket to add a ubyte function which simply checks for [0,255]. Note that this only deals with down-casting. Shift functions work on ints, thus you'd need to mask the byte to an int with (bit-and % 0xFF). If you don't do this, then when the MSB of the byte is 1, the up-converted int will be left-padded with 1s instead of 0s.
