 * ``in`` - json object (array, int, string) representation of the rlp byte stream (\*except values ``VALID`` and ``INVALID``)
 * ``out`` - string of rlp bytes stream
+
+When a json string starts with ``0x``, the rest of the string is interpreted as
+hex bytes, and when one starts with ``#``, the rest is interpreted as a decimal
+number. For example ``5050`` and ``"#5050"`` both represent the decimal number
+``5050``. Strings with ``#`` prefixes should be used for numbers that would be
+too big to represented as ``int`` values, and would require a "bigint"
+representation.
+
+The ``out`` strings normally start with ``0x`` to be interpreted as hex bytes.
