// EncodeRLP. This is true even for nil pointers, please see the

//
// To encode a pointer, the value being pointed to is encoded. For nil
// pointers, Encode will encode the zero value of the type. A nil
// pointer to a struct type always encodes as an empty RLP list.
// A nil pointer to an array encodes as an empty list (or empty string
// if the array has element type byte).
//
// Struct values are encoded as an RLP list of all their encoded
// public fields. Recursive struct types are supported.
//
// To encode slices and arrays, the elements are encoded as an RLP
// list of the value's elements. Note that arrays and slices with
// element type uint8 or byte are always encoded as an RLP string.
//
// A Go string is encoded as an RLP string.
//
// An unsigned integer value is encoded as an RLP string. Zero always
// encodes as an empty RLP string. Encode also supports *big.Int.
//
// An interface value encodes as the value contained in the interface.
//
// Boolean values are not supported, nor are signed integers, floating
// point numbers, maps, channels and functions.
