/// deserializing to or from the beginning of message, or the preceeding bytes end on an 8-byte
/// boundry.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use byteorder::LE;
///
/// use zvariant::EncodingContext as Context;
/// use zvariant::{from_slice, to_bytes};
///
/// let str_vec = vec!["Hello", "World"];
/// let ctxt = Context::<LE>::new_dbus(0);
/// let encoded = to_bytes(ctxt, &str_vec).unwrap();
///
/// // Let's decode the 2nd element of the array only
/// let ctxt = Context::<LE>::new_dbus(14);
