/**
* Base class that each generated message subclasses from.
+ *
+ * @note While the class support NSSecureCoding, if the message has any
+ * extensions, they will end up reloaded in @c unknownFields as there is
+ * no way for the @c NSCoding plumbing to pass through a
+ * @c GPBExtensionRegistry. To support extensions, instead of passing the
+ * calls off to the Message, simple store the result of @c data, and then
+ * when loading, fetch the data and use
+ * @c +parseFromData:extensionRegistry:error: to provide an extension
+ * registry.

// cases are methods that take no arguments, or setFoo:/hasFoo: type methods.
