//
// Note that a pointer to a nil interface is not a nil pointer.
// If you do not know what type of stream it is, pass in a pointer to a nil interface.
// We will decode and store a value in that nil interface.
//
// Sample usages:
//   // Decoding into a non-nil typed value
//   var f float32
//   err = codec.NewDecoder(r, handle).Decode(&f)
//
//   // Decoding into nil interface
//   var v interface{}
//   dec := codec.NewDecoder(r, handle)
//   err = dec.Decode(&v)
//
// When decoding into a nil interface{}, we will decode into an appropriate value based
// on the contents of the stream:
//   - Numbers are decoded as float64, int64 or uint64.
//   - Other values are decoded appropriately depending on the type:
//     bool, string, []byte, time.Time, etc
//   - Extensions are decoded as RawExt (if no ext function registered for the tag)
// Configurations exist on the Handle to override defaults
// (e.g. for MapType, SliceType and how to decode raw bytes).
//
// When decoding into a non-nil interface{} value, the mode of encoding is based on the
// type of the value. When a value is seen:
//   - If an extension is registered for it, call that extension function
//   - If it implements BinaryUnmarshaler, call its UnmarshalBinary(data []byte) error
//   - Else decode it based on its reflect.Kind
//
// There are some special rules when decoding into containers (slice/array/map/struct).
// Decode will typically use the stream contents to UPDATE the container.
//   - A map can be decoded from a stream map, by updating matching keys.
//   - A slice can be decoded from a stream array,
//     by updating the first n elements, where n is length of the stream.
//   - A slice can be decoded from a stream map, by decoding as if
//     it contains a sequence of key-value pairs.
//   - A struct can be decoded from a stream map, by updating matching fields.
//   - A struct can be decoded from a stream array,
//     by updating fields as they occur in the struct (by index).
//
// When decoding a stream map or array with length of 0 into a nil map or slice,
// we reset the destination map or slice to a zero-length value.
//
// However, when decoding a stream nil, we reset the destination container
// to its "zero" value (e.g. nil for slice/map, etc).
