+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+
+  This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
+the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
+License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
+
+  0. Additional Definitions.
+
+  As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
+General Public License.
+
+  "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
+other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
+
+  An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
+by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
+Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
+of using an interface provided by the Library.
+
+  A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
+Application with the Library.  The particular version of the Library
+with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
+Version".
+
+  The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
+Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
+for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
+based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
+
+  The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
+object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
+and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
+Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
+
+  1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
+
+  You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
+without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
+
+  2. Conveying Modified Versions.
+
+  If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
+facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
+that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
+facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
+version:
+
+   a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
+   ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
+   function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
+   whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
+
+   b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
+   this License applicable to that copy.
+
+  3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
+
+  The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
+a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object
+code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
+material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
+layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
+(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
+
+   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
+   Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
+   covered by this License.
+
+   b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
+   document.
+
+  4. Combined Works.
+
+  You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
+taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
+portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
+engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
+the following:
+
+   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
+   the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
+   covered by this License.
+
+   b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
+   document.
+
+   c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
+   execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
+   these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
+   copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
+
+   d) Do one of the following:
+
+       0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
+       License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
+       suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
+       recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
+       the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
+       manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
+       Corresponding Source.
+
+       1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
+       Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
+       a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
+       system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
+       of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
+       Version.
+
+   e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
+   be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
+   GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
+   necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
+   Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
+   Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
+   you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
+   the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
+   Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
+   Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
+   for conveying Corresponding Source.)
+
+  5. Combined Libraries.
+
+  You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
+Library side by side in a single library together with other library
+facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
+License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
+choice, if you do both of the following:
+
+   a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
+   on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
+   conveyed under the terms of this License.
+
+   b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
+   is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
+   accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
+
+  6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
+versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
+Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
+of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
+applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that published version or of any later version
+published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
+received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
+whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
+apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
+permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
+Library.

+-- as described in the Yellow Paper <https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf>.

+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-- $subtleties
+-- The idea of transforming a custom type into RLPT is to
+-- preserve the original structure as far as possible. For example,
+-- suppose we have a data structure:
+--
+-- > data Name   = (String, String)   -- represents the first and last name of a Person
+-- > data Person = Person Name Int    -- represents the whole name of a Person and its age
+--
+-- Then the desired output of the transformation of a Person value to RLPT should be (pseudocode):
+--
+-- > RLPL [ RLPL [ RLPB, RLPB ], RLPB ]
+--
+-- This way the structure is clearly preserved. Eventhough this does not have
+-- to be true as the transformation to RLPL is defined by the user and a custom
+-- process can be implemented, it is advised to follow this guideline for better
+-- understanding of the generated code.
+--
+-- It is important to remark that although it can't be imposed, it doesn't make sense to try
+-- to transform to RLP types with more than one constructor. The transformation should encode
+-- a way to find out which of the constructors belongs to the data so not only data is being
+-- encoded in the result, also information about the structure futher than the actual length
+-- prefixes. That's why it only makes sense to transform to RLP types with just one constructor.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-- | The 'RLPSerialize' class provides functions for transforming values to RLPT structures.
+-- For encoding and decoding values with the RLP protocol, 'toRLP' and 'fromRLP' have to
+-- be implemented.
+--
+-- Instances of RLPSerialize have to satisfy the following property:
+--
+-- > fromRLP . toRLP == id
+--
+-- In such case, it can be assured with the default definition that:
+--
+-- > rlpDecode . rlpEncode == id
+--
+-- RLPSerialize makes use of the Get and Put classes together with a set of
+-- custom serializations for encoding and decoding RLPT data.

+-- $example
+-- For a full example, we reproduce the implementation of the Person type as in the
+-- subtleties section.
+--
+-- First of all, we define the type:
+--
+-- > type Name = (String, String)
+-- > data Person = Person {
+-- >                    name :: Name,
+-- >                    age  :: Int
+-- >                } deriving (Show)
+--
+-- Then we have to make it an instance of RLPSerialize:
+--  
+-- > instance RLPSerialize Person where
+-- >   toRLP p = RLPL [
+-- >                 RLPL [
+-- >                     toRLP . toByteStringS . fst . name $ p,
+-- >                     toRLP . toByteStringS . snd . name $ p
+-- >                     ],
+-- >                 toRLP . age $ p]
+-- > 
+-- >   fromRLP (RLPL [ RLPL [ RLPB a, RLPB b ], RLPB c ]) =
+-- >          Person (fromByteStringS a, fromByteStringS b) (fromBigEndianS c :: Int)
+-- 
+-- This way, if the decoding gives rise to other structure than the expected, a runtime
+-- exception will be thrown by the pattern matching. We can now use our decoder and encoder
+-- with our custom type:
+--
+-- > p = Person ("John", "Snow") 33
+-- > e = rlpEncode p
+-- > -- "\204\202\132John\132Snow!" ~ [204,202,132,74,111,104,110,132,83,110,111,119,33]
+-- > rlpDecode e :: Maybe Person
+-- > -- Just (Person {name = ("John","Snow"), age = 33})
