The current package comment doesn't mention varints and
protocol buffers. Also, the first sentence is incomprehensible
without further context as "fixed-size values" is undefined.

// Package binary implements translation between numbers and byte sequences
// and encoding and decoding of varints.
//
// Numbers are translated by reading and writing fixed-size values.
// A fixed-size value is either a fixed-size arithmetic
// type (int8, uint8, int16, float32, complex64, ...)
// or an array or struct containing only fixed-size values.
//
// Varints are a method of encoding integers using one or more bytes;
// numbers with smaller absolute value take a smaller number of bytes.
// For a specification, see http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/encoding.html.
