This would not solve the *general* problem Daryle raised. He’s looking for a 
way to test the logic of some buffer-boundary-crossing code, which makes sense 
only if he has multiple buffers, which means he must be using “enumerateBytes”, 
which not supported by Collection<UInt8>. If he doesn’t use enumerateBytes, 
then he doesn’t need anything but Data anyway.

However, considering what appears to be the *actual* problem (finding the first 
CR or CR-LF or CR-CR-LF separator in a byte sequence), he could use Data 
without using enumerateBytes, and still not risk copying the data to a 
contiguous buffer.

This solution would use Data’s “index(of:)” to find the first CR, then a 
combination of advancing the index and subscripting to test for LF in the 
following 1 or 2 positions.
