Lazy casts from & to byte arrays
Documentation
//!Slice accessors
//!
//!Provides traits to access integers as byte slices.
//!
//!# Usage
//!
//!```rust
//!use lazy_bytes_cast::slice::{
//!   ByteSlice,
//!   ByteIndex
//!};
//!
//!fn main() {
//!    let some_int = 666;
//!
//!    for (idx, byte) in some_int.byte_slice().iter().enumerate() {
//!        assert_eq!(some_int.byte(idx).unwrap(), *byte);
//!        println!("bytes[{}]={}", idx, byte);
//!    }
//!}
//!```
