A small utility for converting unsafely between string and []byte without allocations in Golang

Unsafe Conversions Between String <-> []byte

This repo is intended to be a clear implementation of the solution suggested by Keith Randal here

This avoids the problems associated with using a uintptr as well as failing tests if the runtime representation of string or []byte changes.
