What the byte before a value can say about it.

The four flags are the specification's, and they are how a nullable field, a shared value and a value that is simply there are told apart: one byte, before the value, that says which.

Variants

Variant	Meaning
`Null`	`0xFD`: there is no value. What a nullable field holds when it holds nothing.
`Ref(id~ : Int32)`	`0xFE`: the value is one that has already gone past, and the id says which one. A reference, and the reason this is not a tagged encoder.
`NotNull`	`0xFF`: there is a value here, and it is not tracked.
`RefValue(id~ : Int32)`	`0x00`: there is a value here, and it may be pointed at; the id is the one it is given.
