Evaluating (write-u8 65) at the REPL will produce this error:

;The object #[textual-i/o-port 12 for console], passed as an argument to
#[compiled-procedure 13 ("binary-port" #x3) #x1c #x23a9984], is not the
correct type.

This is because the REPL's output port is not a binary port:

(binary-port? (current-output-port))   ; returns #f
(textual-port? (current-output-port))  ; returns #t

Would it be possible to make the REPL's output port both a textual port and a
binary port, so that bytes can be written at the REPL?
