>>> from hexrec.utils import chop_blocks
>>> from bytesparse import Memory
>>> from hexrec.formats.motorola import Record as MotorolaRecord
>>> data = bytes(range(256))
>>> blocks = list(chop_blocks(data, 16))
>>> records = blocks_to_records(blocks, MotorolaRecord)
>>> records_to_blocks(records) == Memory.collapse_blocks(blocks)
True
