/// A type that does not have any protocol serialization implemented.
///
/// # Behaviour
///
/// If any unimplemented parcel is read, an error of type
/// `UnimplementedParcel` is returned. This allows clients to
/// handle unimplemented data gracefully.
///
/// If you attempt to write an unimplemented parcel, the
/// program panics. It makes sense to do error handling on
/// unimplemented types that are read from remote machines,
/// but it does not make sense to allow undefined data to be sent.
