 * Variable-length integers: bytes are a MSB base-128 encoding of the number.
 * The high bit in each byte signifies whether another digit follows. To make
 * sure the encoding is one-to-one, one is subtracted from all but the last digit.
 * Thus, the byte sequence a[] with length len, where all but the last byte
 * has bit 128 set, encodes the number:
 * 
 *  (a[len-1] & 0x7F) + sum(i=1..len-1, 128^i*((a[len-i-1] & 0x7F)+1))
 * 
 * Properties:
 * * Very small (0-127: 1 byte, 128-16511: 2 bytes, 16512-2113663: 3 bytes)
 * * Every integer has exactly one encoding
 * * Encoding does not depend on size of original integer type
 * * No redundancy: every (infinite) byte sequence corresponds to a list
 *   of encoded integers.
