> Need a function to convert an encoded binary string to its byte array equivalent. All non printable bytes can be encoded as '\xNN' where NN is the byte value in hexadecimal.
> Sample:
> {noformat}
> binary_string('\xca\xfe\xba\xbe') => (byte[]) {(byte)0xca, (byte)0xfe, (byte)0xba, (byte)0xbe}
> {noformat}
