> Create an internal magic number (i.e. -1 or 255) for user defined externalizers. This is done to avoid users using our number space.
> So, internally: <magic_number> <stream>
> Users: <magic_number><user defined magic number (int)> <stream>
> Mandate unsigned ints so that we can optimise by sending them as variable lenght
> Internal frameworks could use high enough numbers for example up to 2 bytes: 5000, 7000, 20000
> 1 byte: 128
> 2 bytes: 32767
> 3 bytes: ...
> GlobalConfiguration.registerMarshallable(Class type, Externalizer ext, int id);
> Maybe CacheManager better?
> CacheManager.registerMarshallable(Class type, Externalizer ext, int id);
> Future improvement, maybe generate ids automatically for user defined classes?
