Primitive byte-buffer type.

# =============================================================================
# octeti — Primitive byte-buffer type.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Primitive buffer type — `octeti` is the built-in byte buffer, analogous to `Vec<u8>` in Rust.
#   • Literal syntax — Byte buffers can be written with hex literals like `|de ad be ef|`.
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Writing octeti hex literals with an odd digit count — each byte requires two hex digits.
#
# See also: textus, lista
# =============================================================================

# octeti — byte-buffer type alias
#
# typus Fascis = octeti
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   typeAliasDecl :← 'typus' ident '=' typeExpr
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   octeti.expected — type-known diagnostic.

type Fascis = bytes

main {
    const bytes sig ← |de ad be ef|
    const bytes hello ← |48 65 6c 6c 6f|
    const bytes empty ← ||
    print "octeti typus notus"
}

Expected output:

octeti typus notus
