(:h1 ${package})

(:p ${package} " is a library for accessing multibyte integers from
octet arrays and streams.  While such accessors are straightforward to
write, " ${package} " aims to centralize such facilities and also
provide optimizations for them when appropriate.")

(:h2 "Installation")

(:p ${package} " can be downloaded at " (:url ${download} ${download})
".  The latest version is " ${version} ".")

(:p "It comes with an ASDF system definition, so " `(ASDF:OOS
'ASDF:LOAD-OP :NIBBLES)` " should be all that you need to get started.")

(:h2 "License")

(:p ${package} " is released under a MIT-like license; you can do pretty
much anything you want to with the code except claim that you wrote
it.")

64-bit value stored in little-endian order starting at " 'index' " in "
'vector' ".  " 'vector' " must be a " `(VECTOR (UNSIGNED-BYTE 8))`
