/// This trait represents the ability to load your Operands from bytecode.
/// `stack-vm` uses the [`rmp`](https://crates.io/crates/rmp) crate to load
/// bytecode from a MsgPack encoded binary.
///
/// See the [`rmp` docs](https://docs.rs/rmp/0.8.7/rmp/) to find out which
/// functions you can use to write out your types.
pub trait FromByteCode {
    /// Convert from MsgPack to your type.
    ///
    /// This function takes a mutable reference of type `Read` and returns your
    /// operand type.
    ///
    /// ## Example
    ///
    /// ```
    /// # extern crate rmp;
    /// # extern crate stack_vm;
    /// # use stack_vm::FromByteCode;
    /// # use std::io::Read;
    ///
    /// #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
    /// struct Operand(i64);
    ///
    /// impl FromByteCode for Operand {
    ///     fn from_byte_code(mut buf: &mut Read) -> Operand {
    ///         let value = rmp::decode::read_int(&mut buf).unwrap();
    ///         Operand(value)
    ///     }
    /// }
    /// # fn main() {
    /// let bytecode = [0xd];
    /// assert_eq!(Operand(13), Operand::from_byte_code(&mut &bytecode[..]));
    /// # }
    /// ```
