   Macros around READ-WRITE, WRITE-BYTE and LDB to ease reading and
   writing multibyte binary strings.

1.1 read-bytes (Macro)

   Syntax:

   — Macro: read-bytes stream length

   → value

   Arguments and Values:

   stream—a binary input stream.

   length—an (integer 0 *) denoting the number of octets to be read.

   value—an (unsigned-byte n) where n is (* 8 length).

   Description:

   read-bytes reads length octets from stream and returns their
   little-endian unsigned value. Length is evaluated during
   macro-expansion.

1.2 write-bytes (Macro)

   Syntax:

   — Macro: write-bytes integer length stream

   Arguments and Values:

   integer—an (unsigned-byte n) where n is (* 8 length).

   length—an (integer 0 *) denoting the number of octets to be written.

   stream—a binary output stream.

   Description:

   write-bytes writes integer to stream, represented as length octets in
   little-endian order. Length is evaluated during macro-expansion.
