This kind of makes me think that there is a general principle that things
shouldn't know their own names. After all, a name is what *other* people use
to refer to you. And in the general case, some other people might refer to you
in ways incompatible with the ways that other people refer to you.
This is a typing kludge -- if your buffers have elements of size > 1 then we will be processing only a subset of the elements and treating each byte of the element as a separate entry.
Oh well.
It now takes a sequence of buffers instead of a single string for both encode and decode, and it also takes a separate sequence of shareids for decode instead of a sequence of tuples, and it returns a sequence of buffers instead of a single string.
