| # Bit-Field I/O Protocols | |
| This module defines the standard-library `io::{Read, Write}` byte-oriented | |
| protocols on `bitvec` structures that are capable of operating on bytes through | |
| the `BitField` trait. | |
| Note that calling [`BitField`] methods in a loop imposes a non-trivial, and | |
| irremovable, performance penalty on each invocation. The `.read()` and | |
| `.write()` methods implemented in this module are going to suffer this cost, and | |
| you should prefer to operate directly on the underlying buffer if possible. |
