	// Canonical representation means that encoding a value will always result in the same
	// sequence of bytes.
	//
	// This only affects maps, as the iteration order for maps is random.
	//
	// The implementation MAY use the natural sort order for the map keys if possible:
	//
	//     - If there is a natural sort order (ie for number, bool, string or []byte keys),
	//       then the map keys are first sorted in natural order and then written
	//       with corresponding map values to the strema.
	//     - If there is no natural sort order, then the map keys will first be
	//       encoded into []byte, and then sorted,
	//       before writing the sorted keys and the corresponding map values to the stream.
	//
	Canonical bool

	// CheckCircularRef controls whether we check for circular references
	// and error fast during an encode.
	//
	// If enabled, an error is received if a pointer to a struct
	// references itself either directly or through one of its fields (iteratively).
	//
	// This is opt-in, as there may be a performance hit to checking circular references.
	CheckCircularRef bool

	// RecursiveEmptyCheck controls whether we descend into interfaces, structs and pointers
	// when checking if a value is empty.
	//
	// Note that this may make OmitEmpty more expensive, as it incurs a lot more reflect calls.
	RecursiveEmptyCheck bool

	// Raw controls whether we encode Raw values.
	// This is a "dangerous" option and must be explicitly set.
	// If set, we blindly encode Raw values as-is, without checking
	// if they are a correct representation of a value in that format.
	// If unset, we error out.
	Raw bool

	// StringToRaw controls how strings are encoded.
	//
	// As a go string is just an (immutable) sequence of bytes,
	// it can be encoded either as raw bytes or as a UTF string.
	//
	// By default, strings are encoded as UTF-8.
	// but can be treated as []byte during an encode.
	//
	// Note that things which we know (by definition) to be UTF-8
	// are ALWAYS encoded as UTF-8 strings.
	// These include encoding.TextMarshaler, time.Format calls, struct field names, etc.
	StringToRaw bool

	// // AsSymbols defines what should be encoded as symbols.
	// //
	// // Encoding as symbols can reduce the encoded size significantly.
	// //
	// // However, during decoding, each string to be encoded as a symbol must
	// // be checked to see if it has been seen before. Consequently, encoding time
	// // will increase if using symbols, because string comparisons has a clear cost.
	// //
	// // Sample values:
	// //   AsSymbolNone
	// //   AsSymbolAll
	// //   AsSymbolMapStringKeys
	// //   AsSymbolMapStringKeysFlag | AsSymbolStructFieldNameFlag
	// AsSymbols AsSymbolFlag

// Encode writes an object into a stream.
//
// Encoding can be configured via the struct tag for the fields.
// The key (in the struct tags) that we look at is configurable.
//
// By default, we look up the "codec" key in the struct field's tags,
// and fall bak to the "json" key if "codec" is absent.
// That key in struct field's tag value is the key name,
// followed by an optional comma and options.
//
// To set an option on all fields (e.g. omitempty on all fields), you
// can create a field called _struct, and set flags on it. The options
// which can be set on _struct are:
//    - omitempty: so all fields are omitted if empty
//    - toarray: so struct is encoded as an array
//    - int: so struct key names are encoded as signed integers (instead of strings)
//    - uint: so struct key names are encoded as unsigned integers (instead of strings)
//    - float: so struct key names are encoded as floats (instead of strings)
// More details on these below.
//
// Struct values "usually" encode as maps. Each exported struct field is encoded unless:
//    - the field's tag is "-", OR
//    - the field is empty (empty or the zero value) and its tag specifies the "omitempty" option.
//
// When encoding as a map, the first string in the tag (before the comma)
// is the map key string to use when encoding.
// ...
// This key is typically encoded as a string.
// However, there are instances where the encoded stream has mapping keys encoded as numbers.
// For example, some cbor streams have keys as integer codes in the stream, but they should map
// to fields in a structured object. Consequently, a struct is the natural representation in code.
// For these, configure the struct to encode/decode the keys as numbers (instead of string).
// This is done with the int,uint or float option on the _struct field (see above).
//
// However, struct values may encode as arrays. This happens when:
//    - StructToArray Encode option is set, OR
//    - the tag on the _struct field sets the "toarray" option
// Note that omitempty is ignored when encoding struct values as arrays,
// as an entry must be encoded for each field, to maintain its position.
//
// Values with types that implement MapBySlice are encoded as stream maps.
//
// The empty values (for omitempty option) are false, 0, any nil pointer
// or interface value, and any array, slice, map, or string of length zero.
//
// Anonymous fields are encoded inline except:
//    - the struct tag specifies a replacement name (first value)
//    - the field is of an interface type
//
// Examples:
//
//      // NOTE: 'json:' can be used as struct tag key, in place 'codec:' below.
//      type MyStruct struct {
//          _struct bool    `codec:",omitempty"`   //set omitempty for every field
//          Field1 string   `codec:"-"`            //skip this field
//          Field2 int      `codec:"myName"`       //Use key "myName" in encode stream
//          Field3 int32    `codec:",omitempty"`   //use key "Field3". Omit if empty.
//          Field4 bool     `codec:"f4,omitempty"` //use key "f4". Omit if empty.
//          io.Reader                              //use key "Reader".
//          MyStruct        `codec:"my1"           //use key "my1".
//          MyStruct                               //inline it
//          ...
//      }
//
//      type MyStruct struct {
//          _struct bool    `codec:",toarray"`     //encode struct as an array
//      }
//
//      type MyStruct struct {
//          _struct bool    `codec:",uint"`        //encode struct with "unsigned integer" keys
//          Field1 string   `codec:"1"`            //encode Field1 key using: EncodeInt(1)
//          Field2 string   `codec:"2"`            //encode Field2 key using: EncodeInt(2)
//      }
//
// The mode of encoding is based on the type of the value. When a value is seen:
//   - If a Selfer, call its CodecEncodeSelf method
//   - If an extension is registered for it, call that extension function
//   - If implements encoding.(Binary|Text|JSON)Marshaler, call Marshal(Binary|Text|JSON) method
//   - Else encode it based on its reflect.Kind
//
