comparison src/memory.rs @ 60:05cc2c27334f

The Big Refactor: clean up docs and exports. - Brings the most important symbols in the library to the root with `pub use` statements. - Expands and updates documentation. - Rearranges things extensively to make the external interface nicer and make the structure easier to understand. - Renames a few things (e.g. `Result`).
