- NewHunk[T HunkBody](name, infoString, body T) supports string and []byte
- NewHunkFromReader(name, infoString, reader) supports io.Reader
- Type-safe at compile time using Go generics (requires Go 1.18+)
- Maintains backward compatibility with legacy constructors
- Comprehensive tests for all input types and error cases
- Clean API: one generic function instead of multiple specific ones

+# Testmark v2 Generic Constructor Examples
+
+Testmark v2 uses Go generics to provide a clean, type-safe constructor that accepts multiple input types.
+
+## Basic Generic Usage
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "strings"
+    testmark "github.com/warpfork/go-testmark/v2"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // 🎉 All these work with the same NewHunk function!
+    
+    // With string (most common)
+    hunk1 := testmark.NewHunk("config", "json", `{"host": "localhost"}`)
+    
+    // With []byte (for binary data)
+    binaryData := []byte{0x89, 0x50, 0x4E, 0x47} // PNG header
+    hunk2 := testmark.NewHunk("image", "binary", binaryData)
+    
+    // With io.Reader (for streams/files)
+    reader := strings.NewReader("data from stream")
+    hunk3 := testmark.NewHunkFromReader("stream", "text", reader)
+    
+    fmt.Printf("Config: %s\n", hunk1.String())
+    fmt.Printf("Image size: %d bytes\n", len(hunk2.Body()))
+    fmt.Printf("Stream: %s\n", hunk3.String())
+}
+```
+
+## Type Safety Benefits
+
+```go
+// ✅ These all compile and work correctly
+stringHunk := testmark.NewHunk("test", "text", "hello")
+byteHunk := testmark.NewHunk("test", "binary", []byte{1, 2, 3})
+
+// ❌ This won't compile (type safety!)
+// intHunk := testmark.NewHunk("test", "text", 42) // compile error
+```
+
+## Compared to v1
+
+**v1 required different functions:**
+```go
+// v1: Multiple functions, easy to forget which one to use
+hunk1 := testmark.Hunk{Name: "test1", Body: []byte("string content")}
+hunk2 := testmark.Hunk{Name: "test2", Body: bodyBytes}
+// No built-in io.Reader support
+```
+
+**v2 uses one generic function:**
+```go
+// v2: One function, type-safe, supports more input types
+hunk1 := testmark.NewHunk("test1", "text", "string content")
+hunk2 := testmark.NewHunk("test2", "binary", bodyBytes)
+hunk3 := testmark.NewHunkFromReader("test3", "json", reader)
+```
+
+## Real-World Example
+
+```go
+func generateTestData() *testmark.Document {
+    doc := testmark.MustParseString(`# API Tests\n`)
+    
+    // JSON from string
+    apiResponse := testmark.NewHunk("api/users", "json", `{
+        "users": [{"id": 1, "name": "Alice"}]
+    }`)
+    
+    // Binary data from []byte
+    imageData := loadImageFile() // returns []byte
+    profilePic := testmark.NewHunk("images/profile", "png", imageData)
+    
+    // Configuration from io.Reader (file, network, etc.)
+    configFile := openConfigFile() // returns io.Reader
+    config := testmark.NewHunkFromReader("config/main", "yaml", configFile)
+    
+    return doc.Patch(apiResponse, profilePic, config)
+}
+```
+
+## Legacy Compatibility
+
+The old constructors still work for backward compatibility:
+
+```go
+// These still work (but NewHunk is preferred)
+hunk1 := testmark.NewHunkString("test", "text", "content")
+hunk2 := testmark.NewHunkBytes("test", "binary", []byte{1, 2, 3})
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```go
+// NewHunk panics on invalid input (fail-fast design)
+// This will panic:
+// testmark.NewHunk("", "", "content")        // empty name
+// testmark.NewHunk("bad name", "", "content") // whitespace in name
+
+// NewHunkFromReader panics if reader fails:
+// Will panic if the reader returns an error
+badReader := &failingReader{}
+// testmark.NewHunkFromReader("test", "", badReader) // panics
+```
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+1. **🎯 Type Safety**: Compile-time checking prevents wrong types
+2. **🧹 Clean API**: One function instead of multiple
+3. **📁 Multiple Inputs**: string, []byte, and io.Reader support
+4. **🔙 Backward Compatible**: Old functions still work
+5. **⚡ Performance**: No runtime type checking overhead
+6. **🛠️ IDE Support**: Better autocomplete and error detection
+
+The generic constructor makes testmark v2 much more ergonomic while maintaining full type safety!
