I am honestly stumped on how to pass unsigned 8/16/32-bit values, such as an int8 value of 213, to byte-critical operations such as data to a socket stream.

Latest github version contains support for unsigned integers to lessen the pain... ;-)

However, I often misuse 'char' for 'uint8' and 'string' for 'byte buffer'.

Well, don't breathe a sigh of relief just yet. Filed an issue about odd behavior.
