// Abstraction of transport protocol-dependent serialization format
// Protocols v1, v2 used 16 bits for collection sizes, while v3 and
// above use 32 bits.  But letting every bit of the code know what
// transport protocol we're using (and in some cases, we aren't using
// any transport -- it's for internal storage) is bad, so abstract it
// away here.
