Problem: - It is a common case to have a table of <unsigned words> from which we want to read <arbitrary-size unsigned quantity> as we interpret the table. For example, an array of std::uint32_t where we read some things as 16-bit, some things as 8-bit, etc. Solution: - Add `byterator` - an iterator-like type that allows extra read/write operations. It behaves like a random access iterator (to `std::byte`) but also has operations to peek, read and write arbitrary trivially-copyable types.
