/// Implementing this trait allows types to be encoded into an [`io::Write`] stream,
/// which is useful for writing data to various destinations like files, buffers, and streams.
///
/// # Examples
/// ```rust
/// use codeq::Encode;
///
/// let data = "hello".to_string();
/// let mut buf = Vec::new();
/// data.encode(&mut buf).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(buf, b"\x00\x00\x00\x05hello");
/// ```
