/**
 * An encoder that prepends the length of the message.  The length value is
 * prepended as a binary form.
 * <p>
 * For example, <tt>{@link LengthFieldPrepender}(2) will encode the
 * following 12-bytes string:
 * <pre>
 * +----------------+
 * | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +----------------+
 * </pre>
 * into the following:
 * <pre>
 * +--------+----------------+
 * + 0x000C | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +--------+----------------+
 * </pre>
 * If you turned on the {@code lengthIncludesLengthFieldLength} flag in the
 * constructor, the encoded data would look like the following
 * (12 (original data) + 2 (prepended data) = 14 (0xE)):
 * <pre>
 * +--------+----------------+
 * + 0x000E | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +--------+----------------+
 * </pre>
