 * Structured-Cloneable to Unicode-Only SERIALIZER
 * 
 * Purpose:
 * 
 * Serialize/deserialize arbitrary JS data to/from well-formed Unicode strings.
 * 
 * The browser does not expose an API to serialize structured-cloneable types
 * into a single string. JSON.stringify() does not support complex JavaScript
 * objects, and does not support references to composite types. Unless the
 * data to serialize is only JS strings, it is difficult to easily switch
 * from one type of storage to another.
 * 
 * Serializing to a well-formed Unicode string allows to store structured-
 * cloneable data to any storage. Not all storages support storing binary data,
 * but all storages support storing Unicode strings.
 * 
 * Structured-cloneable types:
 * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm#supported_types
 * 
 * ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------------
 * Data types      | String           | JSONable         | structured-cloneable
 * ================+============================================================
 * document.cookie | Yes              | No               | No
 * ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------------
 * localStorage    | Yes              | No               | No
 * ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------------
 * IndexedDB       | Yes              | Yes              | Yes
 * ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------------
 * browser.storage | Yes              | Yes              | No
 * ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------------
 * Cache API       | Yes              | No               | No
 * ----------------+------------------+------------------+----------------------
 * 
 * The above table shows that only JS strings can be persisted natively to all
 * types of storage. The purpose of this library is to convert
 * structure-cloneable data (which is a superset of JSONable data) into a
 * single JS string. The resulting string is meant to be as small as possible.
 * As a result, it is not human-readable, though it contains only printable
 * ASCII characters -- and possibly Unicode characters beyond ASCII.
 * 
 * The resulting JS string will not contain characters which require escaping
 * should it be converted to a JSON value. However it may contain characters
 * which require escaping should it be converted to a URI component.
 * 
 * Characteristics:
 * 
 * - Serializes/deserializes data to/from a single well-formed Unicode string
 * - Strings do not require escaping, i.e. they are stored as-is
 * - Supports multiple references to same object
 * - Supports reference cycles
 * - Supports synchronous and asynchronous API
 * - Supports usage of Worker
 * - Optionally supports LZ4 compression
 * 
 * TODO:
 * 
 * - Harden against unexpected conditions, such as corrupted string during
 *   deserialization.
 * - Evaluate supporting checksum.
 *
