Module bytes_like 

Bytes-like (Bytes, String) implementation for the storage traits.

Storage Layout

Bytes-like types use Solidity-compatible: Short strings (≤31 bytes) are stored inline in a single slot:

• Bytes 0..len: UTF-8 string data (left-aligned)
• Byte 31 (LSB): length * 2 (bit 0 = 0 indicates short string)

Long strings (≥32 bytes) use keccak256-based storage:

• Base slot: stores length * 2 + 1 (bit 0 = 1 indicates long string)
• Data slots: stored at keccak256(main_slot) + i for each 32-byte chunk

Structs

BytesLikeHandler

Handler for bytes-like types (Bytes, String) that provides efficient length queries.
