Created December 9, 2025 16:46

utf16-pack serializes javascript values to binary data packed into a utf-16 string. only partially implemented, focusing on performance problems before finishing implementation

	// MessagePack-like encoding targeting UTF-16 storage instead of byte arrays.

	// Encoding of each value involves one UTF-16 character for the value or a header,
	// possibly some additional characters for further fixed size value or length information,
	// then possibly some additional characters or encoded values

	// 15-bit signed integer 0b0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

	// types with 32-bit value, first 2 bits -------------vv followed by two characters containing 15 bits of value each
	const INT_32_MASK = 0b1000000000000100; // 0b0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0b0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
