I think the root of the surprise here is that the compiler converts
[UInt8] into an unsafe pointer. This is appropriate when the callee
is a C API, but usually not appropriate when it is a Swift API. This
is not the first time when this implicit conversion causes surprise.
I think we should discuss scoping that conversion to only C and
Objective-C callees.
But I agree with you, we should have a similar operation that works on
arbitrary collections.
