The package contain several useful functions intended for conversion between string, []byte and different integer types.
For the sake of code shortness, generics are used, it means the package requires go1.18+.
The functions are faster alternative to strconv.Atoi().

Warning. For the sake of maximum processing speed, all the converters have limited support of the leading zeros.
The length of the string cannot exceed the maximum length of the string of every certain type. For example, 012 is
supported for the byte type, whereas 0255 is not as it consists of 4 characters what is impossible for byte type.
In case you process a date number, like month that is formatted with zero, like 09, you can use the fast
converters of the strconv package directly, but if you still need to process formatted numbers like 0000000000000255 as byte, use
DeleteLeadingZeros helper to remove leading zeros in the processed string first:
numberINeed, err = strconv.String2Byte(DeleteLeadingZeros("0000000000000255"))
if err != nil {
...
}
