//! Generic context-aware conversion traits, for automatic _downstream_ extension of `Pread`, et. al
//!
//! The context traits are arguably the center piece of the scroll crate. In simple terms they
//! define how to actually read and write, respectively, a data type from a container, being able to
//! take context into account.
//!
//! ### Reading
//!
//! Types implementing [TryFromCtx](trait.TryFromCtx.html) and it's infallible cousin [FromCtx](trait.FromCtx.html)
//! allow a user of [Pread::pread](../trait.Pread.html#method.pread) or respectively
//! [Cread::cread](../trait.Cread.html#method.cread) and
//! [IOread::ioread](../trait.IOread.html#method.ioread) to read that data type from a data source one
//! of the `*read` traits has been implemented for.
//! 
//! Implementations of `TryFromCtx` specify a source (called `This`) and an `Error` type for failed
//! reads. The source defines the kind of container the type can be read from, and defaults to
//! `[u8]` for any type that implements `AsRef<[u8]>`.
//!
//! `FromCtx` is slightly more restricted; it requires the implementer to use `[u8]` as source and
//! never fail, and thus does not have an `Error` type.
//!
//! Types chosen here are of relevance to `Pread` implementations; of course only a container which
//! can produce a source of the type `This` can be used to read a `TryFromCtx` requiring it and the
//! `Error` type returned in `Err` of `Pread::pread`'s Result.
//!
//! ### Writing
//!
//! [TryIntoCtx](trait.TryIntoCtx.html) and the infallible [IntoCtx](trait.IntoCtx.html) work
//! similarly to the above traits, allowing [Pwrite::pwrite](../trait.Pwrite.html#method.pwrite) or
//! respectively [Cwrite::cwrite](../trait.Cwrite.html#method.cwrite) and
//! [IOwrite::iowrite](../trait.IOwrite.html#method.iowrite) to write data into a byte sink for
//! which one of the `*write` traits has been implemented for.
//!
//! `IntoCtx` is similarly restricted as `FromCtx` is to `TryFromCtx`. And equally the types chosen
//! affect usable `Pwrite` implementation.
//!
//! ### Context
//!
//! Each of the traits passes along a `Ctx` to the marshalling logic. This context type contains
//! any additional information that may be required to successfully parse or write the data:
//! Examples would be endianness to use, field lengths of a serialized struct, or delimiters to use
//! when reading/writing `&str`. The context type can be any type but must derive
//! [Copy](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Copy.html). In addition if you want to use
//! the `*read`-methods instead of the `*read_with` ones you must also implement
//! [default::Default](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/default/trait.Default.html).
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! Let's expand on the [previous example](../index.html#complex-use-cases).
//!
//! ```rust
//! use scroll::{self, ctx, Pread, Endian};
//! use scroll::ctx::StrCtx;
//!
//! #[derive(Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
//! enum FieldSize {
//!     U32,
//!     U64
//! }
//!
//! // Our custom context type. As said above it has to derive Copy.
//! #[derive(Copy, Clone)]
//! struct Context {
//!     fieldsize: FieldSize,
//!     endianess: Endian,
//! }
//!
//! // Our custom data type
//! struct Data<'b> {
//!   // These u64 are encoded either as 32-bit or 64-bit wide ints. Which one it is is defined in
//!   // the Context.
//!   // Also, let's imagine they have a strict relationship: A < B < C otherwise the struct is
//!   // invalid.
//!   field_a: u64,
//!   field_b: u64,
//!   field_c: u64,
//!
//!   // Both of these are marshalled with a prefixed length.
//!   name: &'b str,
//!   value: &'b [u8],
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! enum Error {
//!     // We'll return this custom error if the field* relationship doesn't hold
//!     BadFieldMatchup,
//!     Scroll(scroll::Error),

//!
//! impl<'a> ctx::TryFromCtx<'a, Context> for Data<'a> {
