Byte based operations?

See original GitHub issue

Just wondering why there are no byte array based (or even better Span<byte>) operations are implemented. Seems all based on string and char operations. Even the CircularBuffer used in the ReadToCache class uses char as type, while I would expect it to be byte based and provide conversions to strings. Any ReadExistingBytes() method or something like this would be pretty useful, but the whole SerialPortStream implementation is based on chars.

This is now integrated and referenced. It will be in the next v3.0.0 release.

I’ll be closing this issue when I have a full implementation of supporting Read(Span<byte>), ReadAsync(Memory<byte>), Write(ReadOnlySpan<byte>), WriteAsync(ReadOnlyMemory<byte.).
