Description     : Internal types and macros used by rust-bitcoin ecosystem
This package provides the source code for the Debianized Rust crate
"bitcoin-internals", an auxiliary utility library used across core crates in
the upstream rust-bitcoin organization (such as bitcoin, bitcoin_hashes, and
bitcoin-io).
.
The crate provides low-level shared logic, including:
* Variable-length integer encoding (CompactSize) utilities.
* Internal macros for testing, error generation, and formatting wrappers.
* Extension traits and stack-allocated data structures designed to minimize
third-party dependencies.
* Const-evaluation compatibility workarounds for strict Minimum Supported
Rust Version (MSRV) compliance.
