/**
 * A Codec for on-the-fly encoding/decoding of message.
 *
 * This can be thought of as a combination of {@link MessageToMessageDecoder} and {@link MessageToMessageEncoder}.
 *
 * Here is an example of a {@link MessageToMessageCodec} which just decode from {@link Integer} to {@link Long}
 * and encode from {@link Long} to {@link Integer}.
 *
 * <pre>
 *     public class NumberCodec extends
 *             {@link MessageToMessageCodec}<{@link Integer}, {@link Long}> {
 *         {@code @Override}
 *         public {@link Long} decode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link Integer} msg, List<Object> out)
 *                 throws {@link Exception} {
 *             out.add(msg.longValue());
 *         }
 *
 *         {@code @Overrride}
 *         public {@link Integer} encode({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link Long} msg, List<Object> out)
 *                 throws {@link Exception} {
 *             out.add(msg.intValue());
 *         }
 *     }
 * </pre>
 *
 * Be aware that you need to call {@link ReferenceCounted#retain()} on messages that are just passed through if they
 * are of type {@link ReferenceCounted}. This is needed as the {@link MessageToMessageCodec} will call
 * {@link ReferenceCounted#release()} on encoded / decoded messages.
