Subject: New draft (#7) of SRFI 207: String-notated bytevectors

I've just published draft #7 of SRFI 207. It was submitted by John Cowan, co-author of the SRFI.

Here are John's comments on the draft:

On reflection I agree about always allocating bytevectors (including in bytestring-split), so I have created a [pull request that has become this draft] and I'm requesting Last Call.

Editor's note: The last-call period ended on 2020-10-20, but because of this new draft, I'm extending it to 2020-10-28. If that deadline is too soon for you, but you would like to contribute, please let me know so that I can extend the last-call period further.

Here is the commit summary:

• Update implementation-specific README.
• Ensure pad, trim, replace, span, & break return fresh results.
• Fix list Markdown style.
• bytevectors are always newly allocated
• Eliminate trailing whitespace.
• Publish seventh draft.

Here's the diff:
