//------------ Length -------------------------------------------------------

/// The length octets of an encoded value.
///
/// A length value can either be definite, meaning it provides the actual
/// number of content octets in the value, or indefinite, in which case the
/// content is delimited by a special end-of-value marker.
///
/// # BER Encoding
///
/// The length can be encoded in one of two basic ways. Which one is used is
/// determined by the most significant bit of the first octet. If it is not
/// set, the length octets is one octet long and the remaining bits of this
/// first octet provide the definite length. Thus, if the first octet is
/// less than 128, it provides the definite length already.
///
/// If the most significant bit is set, the remaining bits of the first
/// octet specify the number of octets that follow to encode the actual
/// length. If they specify that there are zero more octets, i.e., the
/// value of the first octet is 128, the length is indefinite. Otherwise,
/// those following octets give the big-endian encoding of the definite
/// length of the content octets.
///
/// Under both CER and DER rules, a definite length must be encoded in the
/// minimum number of octets.
///
/// # Limitation
///
/// The current implementation is limited to 4 length bytes on 32 bit systems
/// and 5 length bytes on 64 bit sytems.
