## Lookup functions

Look up message classes by their wire protocol identifier:

```python
from pygwire.messages import lookup_backend, lookup_frontend, lookup_special

# Look up by single-byte identifier
msg_cls = lookup_backend(b"T") # RowDescription
msg_cls = lookup_frontend(b"Q") # Query

# Look up startup messages by version code
msg_cls = lookup_special(0x00030000) # StartupMessage (v3.0)
```

```python
lookup_backend(identifier: bytes) -> type[BackendMessage] | None
lookup_frontend(identifier: bytes) -> type[FrontendMessage] | None
lookup_special(version_code: int) -> type[SpecialMessage] | None
```

Returns `None` if no message matches.
