Why bother trying to preserve message boundaries? I think that's the
fundamental question.
Yes. Either it's a datagram or a stream pipe. I always thought it
would be a stream pipe, as the name "serial" suggests.
And if it's a datagram, then we should accept that there will be a fixed
max message size which is pretty common in all datagram protocols. That
fixed size should be no larger than what the transport supports so in
this case, it would be 4k.
If a guest wants to send larger messages, it must build a continuation
protocol on top of the datagram protocol.
