Class Overview
Nano is composed of around a hundred classes, organized into a dozen categories of related
objects.
The documentation for each class is in the header for that class. Additional notes, usually relating
to specific implementation choices, are contained at the top of each source file.

Nanites
Although not part of the core library, Nano also contains a set of "Nanite" classes to
improve integration with other frameworks.
Nanites always provide a "Nxxx.h" header, which defines a set of ToXX
and ToNN functions for converting data to and from Nano types.
