// This file implements "varint" encoding of 64-bit integers.
// The encoding is:
// - unsigned integers are serialized 7 bits at a time, starting with the
//   least significant bits
// - the most significant bit (msb) in each output byte indicates if there
//   is a continuation byte (msb = 1)
// - signed integers are mapped to unsigned integers using "zig-zag"
//   encoding: Positive values x are written as 2*x + 0, negative values
//   are written as 2*(^x) + 1; that is, negative numbers are complemented
//   and whether to complement is encoded in bit 0.
//
// Design note:
// At most 10 bytes are needed for 64-bit values. The encoding could
// be more dense: a full 64-bit value needs an extra byte just to hold bit 63.
// Instead, the msb of the previous byte could be used to hold bit 63 since we
// know there can't be more than 64 bits. This is a trivial improvement and
// would reduce the maximum encoding length to 9 bytes. However, it breaks the
// invariant that the msb is always the "continuation bit" and thus makes the
// format incompatible with a varint encoding for larger numbers (say 128-bit).
