/// A very generic, contextual pread interface in Rust. Allows completely parallelized reads, as `Self` is immutable
///
/// Don't be scared! The `Pread` definition _is_ terrifying, but it is definitely tractable. Essentially, `E` is the error, `Ctx` the parsing context, `I` is the indexing type, `TryCtx` is the "offset + ctx" Context given to the `TryFromCtx` trait bounds, and `SliceCtx` is the "offset + size + ctx" context given to the `TryRefFromCtx` trait bound.
///
/// # Implementing Your Own Reader
/// If you want to implement your own reader for a type `Foo` from some kind of buffer (say `[u8]`), then you need to implement [TryFromCtx](trait.TryFromCtx.html)
///
/// ```rust
/// use scroll::{self, ctx};
///  #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
///  pub struct Foo(u16);
///
///  impl<'a> ctx::TryFromCtx<'a> for Foo {
///      type Error = scroll::Error;
///      fn try_from_ctx(this: &'a [u8], ctx: (usize, scroll::Endian)) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
///          use scroll::Pread;
///          let offset = ctx.0;
///          let le = ctx.1;
///          if offset > 2 { return Err((scroll::Error::Custom("whatever".to_string())).into()) }
///          let n = this.pread_with(offset, le)?;
///          Ok(Foo(n))
///      }
///  }
///
/// use scroll::Pread;
/// // you can now read `Foo`'s out of a &[u8] buffer for free, with `Pread` and `Gread` without doing _anything_ else!
/// let bytes: [u8; 4] = [0xde, 0xad, 0, 0];
/// let foo = bytes.pread::<Foo>(0).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(Foo(0xadde), foo);
/// let foo2 = bytes.pread_with::<Foo>(0, scroll::BE).unwrap();
