/**
 * Encodes the requested <a href="https://github.com/google/protobuf">Google
 * Protocol Buffers</a> {@link Message} and {@link MessageLite} into a
 * {@link ByteBuf}. A typical setup for TCP/IP would be:
 * <pre>
 * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ...;
 *
 * // Decoders
 * pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder",
 *                  new {@link LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder}(1048576, 0, 4, 0, 4));
 * pipeline.addLast("protobufDecoder",
 *                  new {@link ProtobufDecoder}(MyMessage.getDefaultInstance()));
 *
 * // Encoder
 * pipeline.addLast("frameEncoder", new {@link LengthFieldPrepender}(4));
 * pipeline.addLast("protobufEncoder", new {@link ProtobufEncoder}());
 * </pre>
 * and then you can use a {@code MyMessage} instead of a {@link ByteBuf}
 * as a message:
 * <pre>
 * void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, Object msg) {
 *     MyMessage req = (MyMessage) msg;
 *     MyMessage res = MyMessage.newBuilder().setText(
 *                               "Did you say '" + req.getText() + "'?").build();
 *     ch.write(res);
 * }
 * </pre>
