/**
 * !!!WARNING!!!
 * This class is still highly experimental.  Incompatible changes
 * WILL be made to it without notice.  DO NOT USE IT YET unless
 * you are coordinating your testing with the author.
 *
 * The dense protocol is designed to use as little space as possible.
 *
 * There are two types of dense protocol instances.  Standalone instances
 * are not used for RPC and just encoded and decode structures of
 * a predetermined type.  Non-standalone instances are used for RPC.
 * Currently, only standalone instances exist.
 *
 * To use a standalone dense protocol object, you must set the type_spec
 * property (either in the constructor, or with setTypeSpec) to the local
 * reflection TypeSpec of the structures you will write to (or read from) the
 * protocol instance.
 *
 * BEST PRACTICES:
 * - Never use optional for primitives or containers.
 * - Only use optional for structures if they are very big and very rarely set.
 * - All integers are variable-length, so you can use i64 without bloating.
 * - NEVER EVER change the struct definitions IN ANY WAY without either
 *   changing your cache keys or talking to dreiss.
 *
 * TODO(dreiss): New class write with old meta.
 *
 * We override all of TBinaryProtocol's methods.
 * We inherit so that we can can explicitly call TBPs's primitive-writing
 * methods within our versions.
