raw decoder for protobufs format

by

For Posterity:
Google’s protocol buffer tools have the ability to decode raw buffers.

Just send the unknown buffer to it and pass the--decode_raw flag

$ protoc --decode_raw < has_no_proto.buff
2 {
  2: "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-02]"
}

So here’s a message with field 2 set to an embedded message which in turn has
its second field set to a string telling me I pissed off Google Play.

Type information isn’t definite (it looks like it will try to display all binary data as strings — but your requirement for varint/string/submessage distinction is met).
