/*
Marshal writes the XDR encoding of v to writer w and returns the number of bytes
written.  It traverses v recursively and automatically indirects pointers
through arbitrary depth to encode the actual value pointed to.

Marshal uses reflection to determine the type of the concrete value contained by
v and performs a mapping of Go types to the underlying XDR types as follows:

	Go Type -> XDR Type
	--------------------
	int8, int16, int32, int -> XDR Integer
	uint8, uint16, uint32, uint -> XDR Unsigned Integer
	int64 -> XDR Hyper Integer
	uint64 -> XDR Unsigned Hyper Integer
	bool -> XDR Boolean
	float32 -> XDR Floating-Point
	float64 -> XDR Double-Precision Floating-Point
	string -> XDR String
	byte -> XDR Integer
	[]byte -> XDR Variable-Length Opaque Data
	[#]byte -> XDR Fixed-Length Opaque Data
	[]<type> -> XDR Variable-Length Array
	[#]<type> -> XDR Fixed-Length Array
	struct -> XDR Structure
	map -> XDR Variable-Length Array of two-element XDR Structures
	time.Time -> XDR String encoded with RFC3339 nanosecond precision

Notes and Limitations:

	* Automatic marshalling of variable and fixed-length arrays of uint8s
	  requires a special struct tag `xdropaque:"false"` since byte slices and
	  byte arrays are assumed to be opaque data and byte is a Go alias for uint8
	  thus indistinguishable under reflection
	* Channel, complex, and function types cannot be encoded
	* Interfaces without a concrete value cannot be encoded
	* Cyclic data structures are not supported and will result in infinite loops
	* Strings are marshalled with UTF-8 character encoding which differs from
	  the XDR specification of ASCII, however UTF-8 is backwards compatible with
	  ASCII so this should rarely cause issues

If any issues are encountered during the marshalling process, a MarshalError is
returned with a human readable description as well as an ErrorCode value for
further inspection from sophisticated callers.  Some potential issues are
unsupported Go types, attempting to encode more opaque data than can be
represented by a single opaque XDR entry, and exceeding max slice limitations.
