Request for Codec.Create with Format of byte []

[fluxlife]

I may be misunderstanding this but if you wanted to supply your own custom FsCodec to Equinox you can FsCodec.Codec.Create(encoder, decoder). However, Equinox expects a a 'Format of byte[] ... i.e. IEventCodec<'Event,byte [], 'Context> but it seems that FsCodec.Codec.Create will only allow you to construct a IEventCodec<'Event, string, 'Context>. Notice string vs byte [].

I am sure the work around is to fully implement IEventCodec, but would be nice to have a equinox compatible short hand constructor.

https://github.com/jet/FsCodec/blob/master/src/FsCodec.SystemTextJson/Interop.fs#L51 does the requisite mapping

Lets leave this ticket open until someone gets around to planting a mention of it in the README.md (arguably it should go in Equinox's DOCUMENTATION.md) ;)

I'm now unclear on the ask to be honest (i.e. not sure my suggestion above makes any sense relative to your need).

Feel free to re-open with more details if it's still a desire for you.
