Internals

Note

just a collection of random things.. not very useful at the moment

Container Frame Internals

Due to the two disjoint activities: parse a byte vector into a high-level frame, and assemble a high-level frame into a byte vector, there are two direct subclasses, a <decoded-container-frame>, which only has the high-level objects, and a <unparsed-container-frame> which keeps an underlying byte vector and an instance of <decoded-container-frame>.

Parsing strategy and length information (which can be contradictionary).
