Construct (python library)

+make your work easier:
- -Fields: raw bytes or numerical types
- -Structs and Sequences: combine simpler constructs into more complex ones
- -Adapters: change how data is represented
- -Arrays/Ranges: duplicate constructs
- -Meta-constructs: use the context (history) to compute the size of data
- -If/Switch: branch the computational path based on the context
- -On-demand (lazy) parsing: read only what you require
- -Pointers: jump from here to there in the data stream
- -Tunneling: prefix data with a byte count or compress it
