//! Tiny Vec
//!
//! A dynamic array that can store a small amount of elements on the stack.
//!
//! This struct provides a vec-like API, but performs small-vector optimization.
//! This means that a `TinyVec<T, N>` stores up to N elements on the stack.
//! If the vector grows bigger than that, it moves the contents to the heap.
//!
//! # Example
//! ```
//! use tiny_vec::TinyVec;
//!
//! let mut tv = TinyVec::<u8, 16>::new();
//!
//! for n in 0..16 {
//!     tv.push(n);
//! }
//!
//! // Up to this point, no heap allocations are needed.
//! // All the elements are stored on the stack.
//!
//! tv.push(123); // This moves the vector to the heap
//!
//! assert_eq!(&tv[..], &[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
//!                       10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 123])
//! ```
//!
//! # Memory layout
//! For a TinyVec<T, N>
//!
//! On the stack (length <= N)
//! - [T; N] : Data
//! - usize  : Length
//!
//! On the heap (length > N)
//! - T*    : Data
//! - usize : Capacity
//! - usize : Length
//!
//! If N is equal to `sizeof (T*, usize) / sizeof T`, the
//! TinyVec is the same size as a regular vector \
//! NOTE: The [n_elements_for_stack] function returns the maximun
//! number of elements for a type, such that it doesn't waste extra
//! space when moved to the heap
