 *
 * upb's core components like upb_decoder and upb_msg are carefully designed to
 * avoid depending on each other for maximum orthogonality.  In other words,
 * you can use a upb_decoder to decode into *any* kind of structure; upb_msg is
 * just one such structure.  A upb_msg can be serialized/deserialized into any
 * format, protobuf binary format is just one such format.
 *
 * However, for convenience we provide functions here for doing common
 * operations like deserializing protobuf binary format into a upb_msg.  The
 * compromise is that this file drags in almost all of upb as a dependency,
 * which could be undesirable if you're trying to use a trimmed-down build of
 * upb.
 *
 * While these routines are convenient, they do not reuse any encoding/decoding
 * state.  For example, if a decoder is JIT-based, it will be re-JITted every
 * time these functions are called.  For this reason, if you are parsing lots
 * of data and efficiency is an issue, these may not be the best functions to
 * use (though they are useful for prototyping, before optimizing).
