bitsandbytes 0.3.2

An owned, bit-aware binary codec: fast bit/byte field types and the unified #[bin] macro.
Documentation
//! `WireLen<T>` + the `#[bw(auto_len = count(x)|bytes(x))]` field directive: a length/count
//! field that auto-derives by default, is overridable with `set(n)` (dual-use), and
//! round-trips byte-identically (decode yields `Set`).
