// TODO:
//
// Add Tests for:
// - struct tags: on anonymous fields, _struct (all fields), etc
// - chan to encode and decode (with support for codecgen also)
//
// Add negative tests for failure conditions:
// - bad input with large array length prefix
//
// decode.go (standalone)
// - UnreadByte: only 2 states (z.ls = 2 and z.ls = 1) (0 --> 2 --> 1)
// - track: z.trb: track, stop track, check
// - PreferArrayOverSlice???
// - InterfaceReset
// - (chan byte) to decode []byte (with mapbyslice track)
// - decode slice of len 6, 16 into slice of (len 4, cap 8) and (len ) with maxinitlen=6, 8, 16
// - DeleteOnNilMapValue
// - decnaked: n.l == nil
// - ensureDecodeable (try to decode into a non-decodeable thing e.g. a nil interface{},
//
// encode.go (standalone)
// - nil and 0-len slices and maps for non-fastpath things
