buf-trait

The Buf trait.

This crate provides a trait for abstracting over buffer-like types, such as str and [u8]. This is a much stronger property than, say, implementing [AsRef<[u8]>]. These are variable-length types that you might want to store as a raw byte buffer and then transmute to and from &[u8].

This crate provides all the functionality necessary for doing so safely, correctly, and in const.
