func ToBytes(s string) (b []byte)

ToBytes returns a byte slice aliasing to the contents of the input string. Many hash functions are written to take []byte as input -- this lets us provide an API that takes a string and use those hash functions without a temporary allocation (and the garbage and copying string contents an allocation implies).

SAFETY: the returned byte slice MUST NOT be written to, only read.
