42 /** \brief Ethernet MAC address
44 The Ethernet MAC is modelled as a fixed-size container/sequence of 6 bytes.
46 \implementation We awkwardly need to use static named constructors (<tt>from_</tt> members)
47 instead of ordinarily overloaded constructors for one simple reason: <tt>char *</tt>
48 doubles as string literal and as arbitrary data iterator. The iterator constructor can
49 therefore not be distinguished from initialization with a string literal. Therefore we
50 need to disambiguate using the named constructors.
