//! Structures for interpreting slices of variable length as arrays.
//!
//! `nslice` provides `MinSlice` and `ExactSlice` for representing slices known to have
//! either exactly or at least some compile-time-known number of values.
//! ```
//! use nslice::MinSlice;
//! let slice = &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
//! let minslice: &MinSlice<_, 3> = MinSlice::from_slice(slice).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(minslice.tail.len(), 3);
//! assert_eq!(minslice.head[0], 1);
//! assert_eq!(minslice.tail[2], 6);
//! ```
use std::slice;
/// A reference to a region of memory which is known to contain `N` or more elements
/// of type `T`.
///
/// Much like `[T]` itself, it is not possible to construct an owned `MinSlice`.
/// `MinSlice` is merely a way of reinterpreting an existing slice
/// (`&[T]` or `&mut [T]`), and it is exactly the same size as a slice:
/// one pointer and one `usize`.

/// let slice: &[u8] = b"Hello, world";
/// let minslice = MinSlice::<u8, 12>::from_slice(slice).unwrap();
/// let value: u8 = minslice.head[6];
/// assert_eq!(value, b' ')
