DESCRIPTION

17       Create  a  new,  uninitialised  block  for binary data. Remember to use
18       Builtins.byteLength (3kaya) instead of Builtins.length (3kaya)  if  you
19       want  to  store  Strings in these, as you may have problems with multi-
20       byte characters otherwise.

22       The uninitialised contents of this  block  are  not  guaranteed  to  be
23       zeroes.
