From Python 3.4, bytearray is good solution for I/O buffer, thanks to

Actually, asyncio uses bytearray as I/O buffer often.
Whoa what?! This is awesome, I had no idea that bytearray had O(1)
deletes at the front. I literally reimplemented this myself on type of
bytearray for some 3.5-only code recently because I assumed bytearray
had the same asymptotics as list, and AFAICT this is totally
undocumented. Shouldn't we write this down somewhere? Maybe here? ->
