-/// Defines how to serialize and deserialize some type.
-///
-/// Used for hooking different message serialization API's into GRPC.
-/// Each SerializationTraits<Message> implementation must provide the
-/// following functions:
-/// 1.  static Status Serialize(const Message& msg,
-///                             ByteBuffer* buffer,
-///                             bool* own_buffer);
-///     OR
-///     static Status Serialize(const Message& msg,
-///                             grpc_byte_buffer** buffer,
-///                             bool* own_buffer);
-///     The former is preferred; the latter is deprecated
-///
-/// 2.  static Status Deserialize(ByteBuffer* buffer,
-///                               Message* msg);
-///     OR
-///     static Status Deserialize(grpc_byte_buffer* buffer,
-///                               Message* msg);
-///     The former is preferred; the latter is deprecated
-///
-/// Serialize is required to convert message to a ByteBuffer, and
-/// return that byte buffer through *buffer. *own_buffer should
-/// be set to true if the caller owns said byte buffer, or false if
-/// ownership is retained elsewhere.
-///
-/// Deserialize is required to convert buffer into the message stored at
-/// msg. max_receive_message_size is passed in as a bound on the maximum
-/// number of message bytes Deserialize should accept.
-///
-/// Both functions return a Status, allowing them to explain what went
-/// wrong if required.
