Yes, the encoder/decoder pair are quite old and meant as examples as much
as anything; definitely not the definitive way to do this.

gr-mac is a good place to look for alternatives. I really hope to see us
fix up some of the gr-mac code and merge as much as possible back into GNU
Radio. And when I say fix up, I mean that they way they've done stuff
inside there was based off the legacy code they pulled it from, so there's
some mix of stream, stream tags, and pdu stuff in there that could be
smoothed out. But they were solving the general problem of getting the mac
to work. I'd love to see things cleaned up a bit now.
