/// <summary>
/// Provides a custom binary serializer for <see cref="RenderBatch"/> instances.
/// This is designed with both server-side and client-side perf in mind:
///
///  * Array-like regions always have a fixed size per entry (even if some entry types
///    don't require as much space as others) so the recipient can index directly.
///  * The indices describing where field data starts, where each string value starts,
///    etc., are written *after* that data, so when writing the data we don't have to
///    compute the locations up front or seek back to an earlier point in the stream.
///    The recipient can only process the data after reading it all into a buffer,
///    so it's no disadvantage for the location info to be at the end.
///  * We only serialize the data that the JS side will need. For example, we don't
///    emit frame sequence numbers, or any representation of nonstring attribute
///    values, or component instances, etc.
///
/// We don't have or need a .NET reader for this format. We only read it from JS code.
