I tried "M-x hexl-mode RET" in a new buffer, but it evidently doesn't
let you insert bytes, only edit existing bytes.
Insertion and deletion would be a good feature to add.
Next I tried "C-x RET f raw-text RET" in a new buffer followed by
"C-q NNN" etc., but the data written thereafter to disk is more bytes
than I typed, because, I guess, "C-q NNN" inserts windows-1255
characters (this is on Windows, where keyboard-coding-system is
windows-1255-unix), and what winds up in the file is their UTF-8
encoding.
Perhaps find-file-literally should set keyboard-coding-system so that
this does the right thing.
