This library contains functionality for reading and writing OCaml-values
in a type-safe binary protocol. These functions are extremely efficient and
provide users with a convenient and safe way of performing I/O on any
extensionally defined data type. This means that functions, objects, and
values whose type is bound through a polymorphic record field are not
supported, but everything else is.

As of now, there is no support for cyclic or shared values. Cyclic values
will lead to non-termination whereas shared values, besides requiring
significantly more space when encoded, may lead to a substantial increase in
memory footprint when they are read back in.

Currently only little endian (2) computer architectures are supported.
Some architectures may potentially also suffer from data alignment issues
with this library. Only Intel architectures are currently well-tested. Both
32bit and 64bit architectures are fully supported.
