Description

The typed bytes format supports byte sequences of the form <custom type code> <length> <bytes>. When reading such a sequence via TypedBytesInput's readRaw() method, however, the returned sequence currently is 0 <length> <bytes> (0 is the type code for a bytes array), which leads to bugs such as the one described here.
