 * Advanced {@code class} file writing support for {@link AttributeMapper}s.
 * Supports writing portions of a {@code class} file to a growable buffer, such
 * as writing various numerical types (e.g., {@code u2}, {@code u4}), to the end
 * of the buffer, as well as to create constant pool entries.
 * <p>
 * All numeric values in the {@code class} file format are {@linkplain
 * ByteOrder#BIG_ENDIAN big endian}.  Writing larger numeric values to smaller
 * numeric values are always done with truncation, that the least significant
 * bytes are kept and the other bytes are silently dropped.  As a result,
 * numeric value writing methods can write both signed and unsigned values, and
 * users should validate their values before writing if silent dropping of most
 * significant bytes is not the intended behavior.
