Note: While tested and usable, this library is not quite ready; expect breaking changes with any update until
1.0.0.
The UnthBuf is a structure that stores a given fixed amount of unsigned integers, like Box<[usize]>... except that the bit-size can be freely chosen from 0 to 64 bits, and the alignment of the stored values is a const-generic bool, effectively making it a Box<[uN]>.
For example:
rust
let buf = UnthBuf::<true>::new(4096, 5);
buf.set(21, 5).unwrap();
Will, if ALIGNED == true, result in this bit-pattern:

Or, if ALIGNED == false:
