The unum variable length encoding is very similar to how msgpack packs integers. See msgpack-d on github for a superb implementation in D.
msgpack-d is indeed a great library that makes serialization almost instant to implement.
I implemented CBOR another binary encoding scheme and it was obvious CBOR brings nothing over msgpack, it even did worse with integer encoding.
