// Encode writes an object into a stream.
//
// Encoding can be configured via the struct tag for the fields.
// The "codec" key in struct field's tag value is the key name,
// followed by an optional comma and options.
// Note that the "json" key is used in the absence of the "codec" key.
//
// To set an option on all fields (e.g. omitempty on all fields), you
// can create a field called _struct, and set flags on it.
//
// Struct values "usually" encode as maps. Each exported struct field is encoded unless:
//    - the field's tag is "-", OR
//    - the field is empty (empty or the zero value) and its tag specifies the "omitempty" option.
//
// When encoding as a map, the first string in the tag (before the comma)
// is the map key string to use when encoding.
//
// However, struct values may encode as arrays. This happens when:
//    - StructToArray Encode option is set, OR
//    - the tag on the _struct field sets the "toarray" option
//
// Values with types that implement MapBySlice are encoded as stream maps.
//
// The empty values (for omitempty option) are false, 0, any nil pointer
// or interface value, and any array, slice, map, or string of length zero.
//
// Anonymous fields are encoded inline except:
//    - the struct tag specifies a replacement name (first value)
//    - the field is of an interface type
//
// Examples:
//
//      // NOTE: 'json:' can be used as struct tag key, in place 'codec:' below.
//      type MyStruct struct {
//          _struct bool    `codec:",omitempty"`   //set omitempty for every field
//          Field1 string   `codec:"-"`            //skip this field
//          Field2 int      `codec:"myName"`       //Use key "myName" in encode stream
//          Field3 int32    `codec:",omitempty"`   //use key "Field3". Omit if empty.
//          Field4 bool     `codec:"f4,omitempty"` //use key "f4". Omit if empty.
//          io.Reader                              //use key "Reader".
//          MyStruct        `codec:"my1"           //use key "my1".
//          MyStruct                               //inline it
//          ...
//      }
//
//      type MyStruct struct {
//          _struct bool    `codec:",omitempty,toarray"`   //set omitempty for every field
//                                                         //and encode struct as an array

//   - If a Selfer, call its CodecEncodeSelf method
//   - If an extension is registered for it, call that extension function
//   - If it implements encoding.(Binary|Text|JSON)Marshaler, call its Marshal(Binary|Text|JSON) method
//   - Else encode it based on its reflect.Kind
