SwiftWings ships two tiny helpers on Array when working with Foundation data transformations.

• Adds Array<UInt8>.data to turn any byte buffer into Data without manual initializers.
• Useful when bridging between crypto/hash primitives (which often surface byte arrays) and Foundation APIs that expect Data.

• subscript(guard:) safely returns nil instead of crashing when an index is out of bounds.
• reduct(_:) runs a custom reducer only if the array contains at least one element, mirroring the behavior exercised in Array+SubscriptTests (e.g. [1,2,3].reduct(+) == 6).

let bytes: [UInt8] = [0xF, 0x0, 0x0, 0xD]
print(bytes.data as NSData) // <0f00000d>

let letters = ["a", "b"]
print(letters[guard: 5] as Any) // nil

let total = [1, 2, 3, 4].reduct(+) // Optional(10)
