• Supported types : primitive / array / slice / struct / map / interface{} and time.Time
• Renaming fields via msgpack:"field_name"
• Omitting fields via msgpack:"-"

	d, err := msgpack.Marshal(v)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	r := Struct{}
	if err =  msgpack.Unmarshal(d, &r); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

// streaming
func handle(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	var body Struct
	if err := msgpack.UnmarshalRead(r, &body); err != nil {
