+// ---------------------------------------------------
+// codecgen supports the full cycle of reflection-based codec:
+//    - RawExt
+//    - Builtins
+//    - Extensions
+//    - (Binary|Text|JSON)(Unm|M)arshal
+//    - generic by-kind
+//
+// This means that, for dynamic things, we MUST use reflection to at least get the reflect.Type.
+// In those areas, we try to only do reflection or interface-conversion when NECESSARY:
+//    - Extensions, only if Extensions are configured.
+//
+// However, codecgen doesn't support the following:
+//   - Canonical option. (codecgen IGNORES it currently)
+//     This is just because it has not been implemented.
+//
+// During encode/decode, Selfer takes precedence.
+// A type implementing Selfer will know how to encode/decode itself statically.
+//
+// The following field types are supported:
+//     array: [n]T
+//     slice: []T
+//     map: map[K]V
+//     primitive: [u]int[n], float(32|64), bool, string
+//     struct
+//
+// ---------------------------------------------------
+// Note that a Selfer cannot call (e|d).(En|De)code on itself,
+// as this will cause a circular reference, as (En|De)code will call Selfer methods.
+// Any type that implements Selfer must implement completely and not fallback to (En|De)code.
+//
+// In addition, code in this file manages the generation of fast-path implementations of
+// encode/decode of slices/maps of primitive keys/values.
+//
+// Users MUST re-generate their implementations whenever the code shape changes.
+// The generated code will panic if it was generated with a version older than the supporting library.
+// ---------------------------------------------------
+//
+// codec framework is very feature rich.
+// When encoding or decoding into an interface, it depends on the runtime type of the interface.
+// The type of the interface may be a named type, an extension, etc.
+// Consequently, we fallback to runtime codec for encoding/decoding interfaces.
+// In addition, we fallback for any value which cannot be guaranteed at runtime.
+// This allows us support ANY value, including any named types, specifically those which
+// do not implement our interfaces (e.g. Selfer).
+//
+// This explains some slowness compared to other code generation codecs (e.g. msgp).
+// This reduction in speed is only seen when your refers to interfaces,
+// e.g. type T struct { A interface{}; B []interface{}; C map[string]interface{} }
+//
+// codecgen will panic if the file was generated with an old version of the library in use.
+//
+// Note:
+//   It was a concious decision to have gen.go always explicitly call EncodeNil or TryDecodeAsNil.
+//   This way, there isn't a function call overhead just to see that we should not enter a block of code.
+
+// GenVersion is the current version of codecgen.
+//
+// NOTE: Increment this value each time codecgen changes fundamentally.
+// Fundamental changes are:
+//   - helper methods change (signature change, new ones added, some removed, etc)
+//   - codecgen command line changes
+//
+// v1: Initial Version
+// v2:
+// v3: Changes for Kubernetes:
+//     changes in signature of some unpublished helper methods and codecgen cmdline arguments.
+// v4: Removed separator support from (en|de)cDriver, and refactored codec(gen)
+// v5: changes to support faster json decoding. Let encoder/decoder maintain state of collections.
