+Native bytes operations
+========================
+
+These ``bytes`` operations have fast, optimized implementations. Other
+bytes operations use generic implementations that are often slower.
+
+Construction
+------------
+
+* Bytes literal
+* ``bytes(x: list)``
+
+Operators
+---------
+
+* Concatenation (``b1 + b2``)
+* Indexing (``b[n]``)
+* Slicing (``b[n:m]``, ``b[n:]``, ``b[:m]``)
+* Comparisons (``==``, ``!=``)
+
+.. _bytes-methods:
+
+Methods
+-------
+
+* ``b.decode()``
+* ``b.decode(encoding: str)``
+* ``b.decode(encoding: str, errors: str)``
+* ``b.join(x: Iterable)``
+
+.. note::
+
+    :ref:`str.encode() <str-methods>` is also optimized.
+
+Formatting
+----------
+
+A subset of % formatting operations are optimized (``b"..." % (...)``).
+
+Functions
+---------
+
+* ``len(b: bytes)``
+* ``ord(b: bytes)``
