class documentation

Data view class which handles conversion between portions of data sections and appropriate data types

A data view is given by its target data section, type converter, and indices within the target. Indices must be contiguous and forward-facing.

Data views are effectively pointers to the data sections they view, converting data in and out as specified. Note that data views cannot target other data views; this is done for implementation simplicity.

Data views can be declared by decorating methods:

@View(section[slice], Converter)
def data_view(self) -> _T:
    ...

An optional second parameter can be passed, wherein the method is used as a pre-converter before Converter.set.
