// There are three conditional compilation symbols that have an impact on performance/features of this ByteBuffer implementation.
//
//      UNSAFE_BYTEBUFFER
//          This will use unsafe code to manipulate the underlying byte array. This
//          can yield a reasonable performance increase.
//
//      BYTEBUFFER_NO_BOUNDS_CHECK
//          This will disable the bounds check asserts to the byte array. This can
//          yield a small performance gain in normal code.
//
//      ENABLE_SPAN_T
//          This will enable reading and writing blocks of memory with a Span<T> instead of just
//          T[].  You can also enable writing directly to shared memory or other types of memory
//          by providing a custom implementation of ByteBufferAllocator.
//          ENABLE_SPAN_T also requires UNSAFE_BYTEBUFFER to be defined, or .NET
//          Standard 2.1.
//
// Using UNSAFE_BYTEBUFFER and BYTEBUFFER_NO_BOUNDS_CHECK together can yield a
// performance gain of ~15% for some operations, however doing so is potentially
// dangerous. Do so at your own risk!
