/**
 * Instances of the class XdrByte represent (de-)serializeable
 * bytes, which are especially useful in cases where a result with only a
 * single byte is expected from a remote function call or only a single
 * byte parameter needs to be supplied.
 *
 * Please note that this class is somewhat modelled after Java's primitive
 * data type wrappers. As for these classes, the XDR data type wrapper classes
 * follow the concept of values with no identity, so you are not allowed to
 * change the value after you've created a value object.
