BishBosh.Type.Length

AUTHOR

Dr. Alistair Ward

DESCRIPTION

• Defines distinct types for various conceptually different length-related quantities to prevent accidental conflation.
• Nothing but the type is exported, facilitating reversion to unwrapped types.
• CAVEAT: use of narrow numeric types, results in marginally slower performance without any reduction in space-requirements.
