[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] Discussion about how to add a new PRIMITIVE_TYPES to rosidl(msg)

[Dirk Thomas]

Maybe you can elaborate what exactly you are trying to achieve. The current format supports basically all primitive types. Your use case seem to be already addressed by defining a field with the type `byte[]`. Maybe for that type it only needs to be reconsidered how it is mapped into specific languages like Python. I agree with you that `bytes` sounds like the more "natural" type in Python.
