/// Specialized YAMLIO scalar type for representing a binary blob.
///
/// A typical use case would be to represent the content of a section in a
/// binary file.
/// This class has custom YAMLIO traits for convenient reading and writing.
/// It renders as a string of hex digits in a YAML file.
/// For example, it might render as `DEADBEEFCAFEBABE` (YAML does not
/// require the quotation marks, so for simplicity when outputting they are
/// omitted).
/// When reading, any string whose content is an even number of hex digits
/// will be accepted.
/// For example, all of the following are acceptable:
/// `DEADBEEF`, `"DeADbEeF"`, `"\x44EADBEEF"` (Note: '\x44' == 'D')
///
/// A significant advantage of using this class is that it never allocates
/// temporary strings or buffers for any of its functionality.
///
/// Example:
///
/// The YAML mapping:
/// \code
/// Foo: DEADBEEFCAFEBABE
/// \endcode
///
/// Could be modeled in YAMLIO by the struct:
/// \code
/// struct FooHolder {
///   BinaryRef Foo;
/// };
/// namespace llvm {
/// namespace yaml {
/// template <>
/// struct MappingTraits<FooHolder> {
///   static void mapping(IO &IO, FooHolder &FH) {
///     IO.mapRequired("Foo", FH.Foo);
///   }
