Is there a plan to include equivalents for the Protocol Buffers delimited I/O functions in Java?

[maciejlach]

Google lists writing message length as a varint before serializing the message itself as one of the techniques used for sending proto messages over a wire. For Java classes, protoc compiler generates convince functions for this purpose.

Do you plan to include such functionality in RProtoBuf library?

Discussion on C++ version can be found at SO.

We are open to well-written pull request, preferably with documentation and tests.

These days none of us use Protocol Buffers all that much so it is unlikely that such an extension comes form us.
