# About

Package safer provides safer access to unsafe operations by providing simple

functions with high test coverage that will never panic, instead returning

zero values.

Primary motivation was KindOf which gives a 30x performance improvement against

the same operation in the reflect package. Useful when you only need to know

the underlying kind, not manipulate the value directly.
