Writing 13 (0xd) actually writes 10 (0xa)

I have been having problems for many months now...over a year with communication between the Industruino and a host machine over USB using the `SerialUSB`. Today, perhaps I have come to the bottom of it. I wrote a script

for (uint8_t i{0}; i < 255; ++i)

    SerialUSB.write(&i, 1);

And I'm reading it similarly on the host. The output I get on the host is this:

[000769] t:main INFO real_machine:274 -- Good 0x0

The `SerialUSB.write` overload taking a buffer (pointer) and a length should write binary data: https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/communication/serial/write/, however, it appears that byte 13 (0xd) is being translated to 10 (0xa). This might be natural for text-based transmissions (changing carriage return to line feed), but is very troublesome when attempting to submit binary data!! It looks like this also happens WITHIN submissions. Using something like `uint32_t num{0x100d00}; SerialUSB.write(&num, 4);`, I get:

[000670] t:main ERROR real_machine:282 -- Expected 0x10d00 (68864) got 0x10a00.
[000722] t:main ERROR real_machine:282 -- Expected 0x10d01 (68865) got 0x10a01.
[000773] t:main ERROR real_machine:282 -- Expected 0x10d02 (68866) got 0x10a02.
[000773] t:main ERROR real_machine:282 -- Expected 0x10d03 (68867) got 0x10a03.
[000825] t:main ERROR real_machine:282 -- Expected 0x10d04 (68868) got 0x10a04.

You can see that the INNER `0x0d`s are being converted to `0x0a`s.

I assume the other alignment issues are related. It looks like `0x11` and `0x13` simply aren't submitted?

Anyway, how do I get industruino to submit a byte 0x0d? How do I submit binary data using the SerialUSB interface?

Thank you for your time!
