# A Vector is, like a BitStruct, a String. It retains all of the String
# methods, except for #[], #[]=, and #each. These methods operate on entries
# instead of chars. Other methods, including #length and #slice, are unchanged.
# Hence a Vector can be used directly with sockets, binary files, etc.
#
# Note that Vector is not a subclass of BitStruct. It cannot be used in
# a #nest declaration in a BitStruct. Instead, use the #vector declaration.
# See BitStruct::VectorField.
#
# Different instances of the same Vector class may have different lengths, and
# a single instance can change its length. The length should always be a
# multiple of the struct size.
