// General design:
//      - no io.Writer, because it's incompatible with binary.BigEndian functions and Writer can't be used as temporary buffer
//      - rlp has 2 data types: List and String (bytes array), and low-level funcs are operate with this types.
//      - but for convenience and performance - provided higher-level functions (for example for EncodeHash - for []byte of len 32)
//
// General rules:
//      - functions to calculate prefix len are fast (and pure). it's ok to call them multiple times during encoding of large object for readability.
//      - functions to Parse (Decode) data - using data type as name (without any prefix): rlp.String(), rlp.List, rlp.U64()
//
