use Error;
/// A trait for plain data types that can be safely read from a byte slice.
///
/// A type can be [`Plain`](trait.Plain.html) if it is `#repr(C)` and only contains
/// data with no possible invalid values. Types that _can't_ be `Plain`
/// include, but are not limited to, `bool`, `char`, `enum`s, tuples,
/// pointers and references.
///
/// At this moment, `Drop` types are also not legal, because
/// compiler adds a special "drop flag" into the type. This is slated
/// to change in the future.
///
/// On the other hand, arrays of a `Plain` type, and
/// structures where all members are plain (and not `Drop`), are okay.
///
/// Structures that are not `#repr(C)`, while not necessarily illegal
/// in principle, are largely useless because they don't have a stable
/// layout. For example, the compiler is allowed to reorder fields
/// arbitrarily.
///
/// All methods of this trait are implemented automatically as wrappers
/// for crate-level funtions.
