nit: thinking too hard->having to reference the Pickle implementation

 // This class provides facilities for basic binary value packing and unpacking.

 // The Pickle class supports appending primitive values (ints, strings, etc.)
 // to a pickle instance.  The Pickle instance grows its internal memory buffer
 // dynamically to hold the sequence of primitive values.   The internal memory
 // buffer is exposed as the "data" of the Pickle.  This "data" can be passed
 // to a Pickle object to initialize it for reading.
 //
 // When reading from a Pickle object, it is important for the consumer to know
 // what value types to read and in what order to read them as the Pickle does
