use memoverlay::MemOverlay;
use memoverlay::overlay;

let message1 = "hello, world!";
let mut overlay = overlay!(message1.as_bytes());
overlay.add_bytes_at(7, "peter".as_bytes()).unwrap();

let mut message2 = String::new();
let _ = overlay.read_to_string(&mut message2).unwrap();

assert_eq!(message2, "hello, peter!");
