    /** @defgroup ByteUtils Byte Utilities
     * Byte utility functions and types for endian- and bit conversions,
     * inclusive alignment handling and general get & put functionality.
     *
     * This category is also supporting \ref Integer.
     *
     * All \ref endian API entries are of `constexpr` and hence evaluated at compile time.<br>
     * Therefore, if-branches and expressions are also of `constexpr` and optimized 'away' at compile time.<br>
     * This includes the `cpu_to_<endian>(..)` and `<endian>_to_cpu(..)` etc utility functions.
     *
     * See \ref endian enum class regarding endian `constexpr` compile time determination.
     *
     * Aligned memory transfer from and to potentially unaligned memory
     * is performed via put_uint16(), get_uint16() with all its explicit stdint types,
     * as well as the generic template functions put_value() and get_value().
     * The implementation uses \ref packed_t to resolve a potential memory alignment issue *free of costs*,
     * see \ref packed_t_alignment_cast.
