The byte semantics as done in LLVM are quite depply intertwined with its provenance model and poison model and is likely to be rather difficult to generalize and not something I considered doing. 
If need be one can always do that later, but I think you'll want to have more than one dialects profit from it without sacraficing the LLVM dialect's semantics
