// = DESCRIPTION
//     Common Data Representation (CDR) marshaling streams.
//
//     This implementation assumes that the native numeric
//     representation is two's complement for integers, IEEE
//     single/double for floats.  Also that characters are in ISO
//     Latin/1.
//
//     Note that CDR itself makes no such assumptions, but this
//     implementation makes such assumptions for reasons of
//     efficiency.  Careful enhancements could preserve that
//     efficiency where the assumptions are true, yet still allow the
//     code to work when they aren't true.
//
//     The implementation expects that buffers are aligned according
//     to the strongest CDR alignment restriction.
//
//     NOTE: this does everything "CDR 1.1" does ... that is, it
//     supports the five extended OMG-IDL data types in UNO Appendix
//     A, which provide richer arithmetic types (64 bit integers,
//     "quad precision" FP) and UNICODE-based characters and strings.
//     Those types are not standard parts of OMG-IDL at this time.
//
//     THREADING NOTE: CDR data structures must be protected against
//     concurrent access by their owning thread.
