// Process: When you first open a connection, send the magic number
// for the version of the protobuf you're targeting (in the [Version]
// enum).  This should **NOT** be sent as a protobuf; just send the
// little-endian 32-bit integer over the wire raw.  This number should
// only be sent once per connection.

// The magic number shall be followed by an authorization key.  The
// first 4 bytes are the length of the key to be sent as a little-endian
// 32-bit integer, followed by the key string.  Even if there is no key,
// an empty string should be sent (length 0 and no data).

// Following the authorization key, the client shall send a magic number
// for the communication protocol they want to use (in the [Protocol]
// enum).  This shall be a little-endian 32-bit integer.

// The server will then respond with a NULL-terminated string response.
// "SUCCESS" indicates that the connection has been accepted. Any other
// response indicates an error, and the response string should describe
// the error.

// Next, for each query you want to send, construct a [Query] protobuf
// and serialize it to a binary blob.  Send the blob's size to the
// server encoded as a little-endian 32-bit integer, followed by the
// blob itself.  You will recieve a [Response] protobuf back preceded
// by its own size, once again encoded as a little-endian 32-bit
// integer.  You can see an example exchange below in **EXAMPLE**.

// A query consists of a [Term] to evaluate and a unique-per-connection
// [token].

// Tokens are used for two things:
// * Keeping track of which responses correspond to which queries.
// * Batched queries.  Some queries return lots of results, so we send back
//   batches of <1000, and you need to send a [CONTINUE] query with the same
//   token to get more results from the original query.

// terms).  These are marked with a `!`.

// type (e.x `{noreply:BOOL}`)
