This pull requests makes comparisons of
Unsliced
values more efficient by avoiding conversions of byte arrays to vectors and instead using conversions to short byte strings. This also opens the opportunity to have comparisons ofUnsliced
values for underlying data types other thanSerialisedKey
, and this pull request introduces a corresponding generalization. Note, however, that this latter change implies that comparison now works by directly comparing the underlying byte arrays using the methods ofShortByteString
; anyOrd
instantiation of the underlying data type is ignored. As of now, this doesn’t make a difference forSerialisedKey
, asSerialisedKey
values are compared using the methods ofRawBytes
, which work like the ones forShortByteString
.
