> The template functions {{avro::encode()}} and {{avro::decode}} along with
> {{codec_traits}} has a clean way of encoding and decoding built-in C++ types
> corresponding to Avro types and types generated by the code generator.
> However, encoding and decoding {{GenricDatum}} is clunky. It uses
> {{std::pair}} and schema objects make makes it hard for programmers to grasp
> and use. Added complexity is due to use of reference in {{pair}}.
> The forthcoming patch simplifies this and makes things uniform.
