Oh, right! ...except that now it's just one value and not an array of
values, just make it a normal number. Don't worry about the fact that
it'll take up 4 bytes instead of 1--it's clearer for it to just be a
normal number.

...I would also note that the definition of the properties talks
nothing about them being a bytestring. ;-)
