//! Defines a trait built on top of [`io::Write`] to write things _into_ it.
//!
//! Instead of writing blanket implementations it is better to use wrappers
//! with [`write_into`] function because there might be implementation conflicts
//! (e.g. between [`WriteInto`] for [`u8`] and [`WriteInto`] for any
//! [`IntoIterator`]).
//! 
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use write_into::{BigEndian, WriteInto, write_into};
//! 
//! let mut buffer = Vec::new();
//! write_into(&mut buffer, BigEndian(0xCAFEBABEu32)).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(&buffer, &[0xCA, 0xFE, 0xBA, 0xBE]);
//! ```
