Differences
-----------

Malstruct contains the following differences from the original construct library:
- Resurrection of version 2.8 features:
- ``PaddedString`` has been renamed back to ``String``
- ``Range`` and its bracket syntax. (e.g. ``Bytes[:5]``)
- New constructs:
- ``SkipNull``
- ``CBytes``
