//! Safely cast bytes slices from/to slices of built-in fundamental numeric types.
//!
//! The provided traits here allow safe casting between byte slices and slices of fundamental
//! numeric types, like integers and floating point numbers. During casting, checks are performed
//! to ensure that the output slice is safe to use: the input slice must be properly aligned for
//! the output type and contain an integer number of values.
//!
//! The content of the output slice will be bitwise equivalent to the input slice, as such extra
//! care has to be taken with regard to endianness.
//!
//! # Example
//! ```
//! # extern crate byte_slice_cast;
//! use byte_slice_cast::*;
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! let slice = [1u8, 2u8, 3u8, 4u8, 5u8, 6u8];
//! let converted_slice = slice.as_slice_of::<u16>().unwrap();
//!
//! if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
//!     assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[0x0102, 0x0304, 0x0506]);
//! } else {
//!     assert_eq!(converted_slice, &[0x0201, 0x0403, 0x0605]);
//! }
//!
//! let converted_back_slice = converted_slice.as_byte_slice().unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(converted_back_slice, &slice);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Example with mutable slices
//! ```
//! # extern crate byte_slice_cast;
//! use byte_slice_cast::*;
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! let mut slice = [0u8; 4];
//! {
//!     let mut converted_slice = slice.as_mut_slice_of::<u32>().unwrap();
//!     converted_slice[0] = 0x12345678;
//! }
//!
//! if cfg!(target_endian = "big") {
//!     assert_eq!(&slice, &[0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78]);
//! } else {
//!     assert_eq!(&slice, &[0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12]);
//! }
