+// 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).
