/**@file
 * Using templates with framing::Buffer is difficultg becase of the many
 * different put/get function names. Here we define a set of types
 * corresponding the basic types of Buffer but presenting a uniform
 * encode/decode/encodedSize interface.
 *
 * It also provides some convenience templates for the common case of
 * encoding a single encodable value as a string, e.g.
 *
 * LongString ls("hello");
 * std::string encoded = encodeStr(ls);
 * LongString ls2 = decodeStr<LongString>(encoded);
 * LongString ls3;
 * decodeStr(encoded, ls3);
