 * <pre class="prettyprint">

 * <p><em>Please note:</em> Don't call {@link Codec#forName} from
 * the no-arg constructor of your own codec. When the SPI framework
 * loads your own Codec as SPI component, SPI has not yet fully initialized!
 * If you want to extend another Codec, instantiate it directly by calling
 * its constructor.
