+// LEB128 utilities that can read/write unsigned LEB128 numbers from/to
+// iterators.
+//
+// LEB128 = Little Endian Base 128, where small numbers take few bytes, but
+// large numbers are still allowed, which is ideal when serializing numbers that
+// are likely to be small.
+// Each byte contains 7 bits from the number, starting at the "little end", the
+// top bit is 0 for the last byte, 1 otherwise.
+// Numbers 0-127 only take 1 byte. 128-16383 take 2 bytes. Etc.
+//
+// Iterators only need to provide:
+// - `*it` to return a reference to the next byte to be read from or written to.
+// - `++it` to advance the iterator after a byte is written.
+//
+// The caller must always provide sufficient space to write any number, by:
+// - pre-allocating a large enough buffer, or
+// - allocating more space when `++it` reaches the end and/or `*it` is invoked
+// after the end, or
+// - moving the underlying pointer to an appropriate location (e.g., wrapping
+// around a circular buffer).
+// The caller must also provide enough bytes to read a full value (i.e., at
+// least one byte should have its top bit unset), and a type large enough to
+// hold the stored value.
+//
+// Note: There are insufficient checks for validity! These functions are
+// intended to be used together, i.e., the user should only `ReadULEB128()` from
+// a sufficiently-large buffer that the same user filled with `WriteULEB128()`.
+// Using with externally-sourced data (e.g., DWARF) is *not* recommended.
