+/**
+ * bytestring - simple bytestring handling
+ *
+ * This code handles manipulation of "bytestrings" represented as a
+ * structure containing a pointer and length. Bytestrings are not
+ * NUL-terminated, and may include internal \0 characters. The main
+ * use case is for referencing sub-sections of a large data buffer
+ * without the inconvenience of manually passing (and returning) both
+ * pointer and length all the time.
+ *
+ * Because of this use case, the bytestrings are treated as having
+ * immutable contents (we use a const char pointer). The caller code
+ * is responsible for ensuring that the lifetime of the data
+ * referenced by the bytestrings is long enough not to leave
+ * bytestring structures with a dangling pointer.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * const char buf[] = "ABCDEFGH";
+ * struct bytestring abcd = BYTESTRING("ABCD");
+ *
+ * assert(bytestring_eq(bytestring(buf, 4), abcd));
+ *
