  # NAME
  
  Data::MessagePack - Raku implementation of MessagePack
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use Data::MessagePack;
  
  my $data-structure = {
      key => 'value',
      k2 => [ 1, 2, 3 ]
  };
  
  my $packed = Data::MessagePack::pack( $data-structure );
  
  my $unpacked = Data::MessagePack::unpack( $packed );
  
  Or for streaming:
  
  use Data::MessagePack::StreamingUnpacker;
  
  my $supplier = Some Supplier; #Could be from IO::Socket::Async for instance
  
  my $unpacker = Data::MessagePack::StreamingUnpacker.new(
      source => $supplier.Supply
  );
  
  $unpacker.tap( -> $value {
      say "Got new value";
      say $value.raku;
  }, done => { say "Source supply is done"; } );
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  The present module proposes an implementation of the MessagePack specification as described on <http://msgpack.org/>. The implementation is now in Pure Raku which could come as a performance penalty opposed to some other packer implemented in C.
  
  # FUNCTIONS
  
  ## function pack
  
  That function takes a data structure as parameter, and returns a `Blob` with the packed version of the data structure.
  
  ## function unpack
  
  That function takes a `MessagePack` packed message as parameter, and returns the deserialized data structure.
