This proposal adds
u24andi24read/write support to thebufferlibrary, enabling native 24-bit integer serialization for compact data representations such as RGB colors, small IDs, and packed binary formats.The goal is to reduce the need for manual bit packing or multi-byte composition in common serialization-heavy code paths, while improving readability and reducing boilerplate in performance-sensitive systems.
No changes to language syntax or VM behavior are introduced; this is a pure extension of the buffer API.
