Peeks, Pokes, and Pointers

Peek from and poke structures into byte slices.

Benchmark

Below are the benchmark results of comparison between peek-poke and bincode serializing and deserializing same struct:

struct MyPeekPokeStruct {
    a: u8,
    b: u16,
    c: MyPeekPokeEnum,
    d: Option<usize>,
}

enum MyPeekPokeEnum {
    Variant1,
    Variant2(u16),
}
