msb128

std::io::{Read, Write} positive, primitive Rust integers in the Most Significant Base 128 (MSB128) variable-length encoding.

MSB128 is also known as Variable Length Quantity (VLQ) encoding and similar to the Little Endian Base 128 (LEB128) encoding (other endianness).

Each byte is encoded into 7 bits, and one is subtracted (excluding the last byte). The highest bit indicates if more bytes follow. Reading stops after a byte with the highest bit set is read or if the underlying Rust primitive overflows.
