Oh, yes. Before std::byte, there were three different ways to represent
an raw byte in memory: char, unsigned char, and uint8_t (almost always
an alias for unsigned char in practice), which is two too many. With
the addition of std::byte, there are now four, which is worse. And
that's not even considering that void * is also functionally a pointer
to a raw byte in memory.

But adding fifth one is just a repetition of the mistake that is std::byte.
