* Byte Reference---If passed a single <code>Fixnum</code>, returns a
* substring of one byte at that position. If passed two <code>Fixnum</code>
* objects, returns a substring starting at the offset given by the first, and
- * a length given by the second. If given a range, a substring containing
+ * a length given by the second. If given a <code>Range</code>, a substring containing
* bytes at offsets given by the range is returned. In all three cases, if
* an offset is negative, it is counted from the end of <i>str</i>. Returns
* <code>nil</code> if the initial offset falls outside the string, the length
* is negative, or the beginning of the range is greater than the end.
+ * The encoding of th3 resulted string is always ASCII-8BIT.
