cork/uncork in the encoder

[jfromaniello]

in my code I have something like this:

something.pipe(lps.encode()).pipe(socket);

I think it will make sense to cork/uncork the target stream for the two pushes or push a concat'ed buffer:

  this.push(pool.slice(used - varint.encode.bytes, used))
  this.push(data)

Similar issue in another similar library:

whats the benefit of corking the stream?

[jfromaniello]

as it is today, it generate two writes to the network.

Node seems to call writev each time data is pushed to the piped destination

by corking the socket it just generate one
