+ *
+ *  It detects common cases and encodes them much more efficiently.
+ *  3 special cases are defined:
+ *  * Pay to pubkey hash (encoded as 21 bytes)
+ *  * Pay to script hash (encoded as 21 bytes)
+ *  * Pay to pubkey starting with 0x02, 0x03 or 0x04 (encoded as 33 bytes)
+ *
+ *  Other scripts up to 121 bytes require 1 byte + script length. Above
