// PushDecoder is the interface for decoding fields like CRCs and lengths where the validity
// of the field depends on what is after it in the packet. Start them with PacketDecoder.Push() where
// the actual value is located in the packet, then PacketDecoder.Pop() them when all the bytes they
// depend upon have been decoded.

	reserveLength() int

	// Indicates that all required data is now available to calculate and check the field.
	// SaveOffset is guaranteed to have been called first. The implementation should read ReserveLength() bytes
	// of data from the saved offset, and verify it based on the data between the saved offset and curOffset.

// dynamicPushDecoder extends the interface of pushDecoder for uses cases where the length of the
// fields itself is unknown until its value was decoded (for instance varint encoded length
// fields).
// During push, dynamicPushDecoder.decode() method will be called instead of reserveLength()
