/*
 * This is a WIP of implementing an alternative
 * serialization strategy. It attempts to follow Vitalik's
 * "simpleserialize" format here:
 * https://github.com/ethereum/beacon_chain/blob/master/beacon_chain/utils/simpleserialize.py
 *
 * This implementation is not final and would almost certainly
 * have issues.
