All of these should work (I think):

  - get the underlying stream
  - set the element type of the (flexi) stream to 'flex:octet
  - set the external format of the (flexi) stream to latin-1, or
  - return an array of octets.

If you're not on CLISP, you should also be able to write binary data
directly to the stream, but CL-GD won't do that (as it predates
flexi-streams).
