bstr

A collection of functions for working with byte strings in Zig. Much of it is ported from the Go standard library. Currently there is no support for simd operations, but those will be added a support comes along.

Goals

• Keep this very simple and filling only the most common use cases.
• Avoid allocations if possible
• Return iterators where possible
• Avoid an actual string type. []u8 is already a type

Questions?

• Should I make bstr a struct of some sort? probably not...
