Should Store::OutputStream::write_byte Output _Bytes_?

Afternoon,
I'm wondering if Store::OutputStream::write_byte() should be allowed to
output bytes if bytes are supplied in the argument.  Lucene has two
functions to handle this situation (writeByte and writeBytes.)  I'm
inclined to think that Plucene should allow write_byte to output bytes,
but that the documentation should be updated to reflect this fact.
(Otherwise, the function is mis-named.)

Opinions?
