Buffer pointer instead of uint8 array generator

First, you have a great packer.
I have only one idea or suggestion.
Did you think about using the UnsafePointer < UInt8 > instead of [Uint8]?
It would be faster for unpacking the strings because you can advance pointer for n places instead of using generator that is always advancing for one next byte.
Check this performance improvements that are used in swift for unpacking bytes packed with similar flatbuffers protocol:
