/**
 * A decoder that splits the received {@link ByteBuf}s on line endings.
 * <p>
 * Both {@code "\n"} and {@code "\r\n"} are handled.
 * <p>
 * The byte stream is expected to be in UTF-8 character encoding or ASCII. The current implementation
 * uses direct {@code byte} to {@code char} cast and then compares that {@code char} to a few low range
 * ASCII characters like {@code '\n'} or {@code '\r'}. UTF-8 is not using low range [0..0x7F]
 * byte values for multibyte codepoint representations therefore fully supported by this implementation.
 * <p>
 * For a more general delimiter-based decoder, see {@link DelimiterBasedFrameDecoder}.
 * <p>
 * Users should be aware that used as is, the lenient approach on lone {@code '\n} might result on a parser
 * diffenrencial on line based protocols requiring the use of {@code "\r\n"} delimiters like SMTP and can
 * result in attacks similar to
 * <a href="https://sec-consult.com/blog/detail/smtp-smuggling-spoofing-e-mails-worldwide/">SMTP smuggling</a>.
 * Validating afterward the end of line pattern can be a possible mitigation.
