 *
 * An instance of this structure is usually defined at compile time (see
 * examples in "include/codec_*.h" and "src/codec_*.c") and should have the
 * following defined:
 *
 * - name: A brief (16-char max), human-readable to identify the codec.
 * - mimetype: MIME type associated with the codec.
 * - extension: File extension associated with the serialized file.
 * - term_encoder: Callback function for encoding a single term.
 * - term_decoder: Callback function for decoding a single term.
 *
 * There is no validation enforced, but at least the name, mimetype and
 * extension, as well as one or more encoding functions and their respective
 * decoding functions, should be defined in a codec.
