seq-str

seq-str provides alternatives to Vec<String> and Vec<Vec<u8>> which store all the data in contiguous memory. The types SeqStr and SeqBytes can often be drop-in replacements, for improved memory locality and fewer memory allocations.

These types also support "emplace"-like APIs such as in_place_writer, which allow writing the next element directly into the contiguous buffer.

SeqStr::from_display_iter allows you to collect any iterator of impl Display, where all formatting takes place directly in the contiguous buffer.
