20/// Encodes and decodes one complete Base64 quantum.
21///
22/// A quantum maps exactly three raw bytes to four Base64 units. It does not
23/// handle final short input groups or `=` padding; callers that process streams
24/// must finalize those cases in a transcoder or facade layer.
25///
26/// # Examples
27///
28/// ```
29/// use qubit_codec::Codec;
30/// use qubit_codec_misc::Base64QuantumCodec;
31///
32/// let mut codec = Base64QuantumCodec::standard();
33/// let mut encoded = [0; 4];
34/// // SAFETY: `encoded` has room for the four units written by one quantum.
35/// let written = unsafe { codec.encode(b"Man", &mut encoded, 0) }
36/// .expect("three bytes can be encoded");
37/// assert_eq!(written, 4);
38/// assert_eq!(&encoded, b"TWFu");
