a quick fix to save binary data properly

[ekim7809]

In extending protocol of ByteConversion, objects other than strings should not get converted to strings with str function then get the bytes out of those.

In my case, I needed to insert binary data of bytes or bytes-arrays that I get from UUID objects. Data type I set in schema is "binary". Converting bytes to a string actually gives you a string of reference address like "[B@5ee34b1b" which will always get saved as 11 bytes long binary data and the first 3 bytes will always be the same :)

Quick fix:

Object
#_(to-bytes [o] (to-bytes (str o)))
(to-bytes [o] o))

Thank you for sharing, Ben.
