 * A typical setup for a text-based line protocol in a TCP/IP socket would be:
 *  * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ...;
 *
 * // Decoders
 * pipeline.addLast("frameDecoder", new {@link LineBasedFrameDecoder}(80));
 * pipeline.addLast("stringDecoder", new {@link StringDecoder}(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
 *
 * // Encoder
 * pipeline.addLast("stringEncoder", new {@link StringEncoder}(CharsetUtil.UTF_8));
 * 
 * and then you can use a {@link String} instead of a {@link ByteBuf}
 * as a message:
 *  * void channelRead({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link String} msg) {
 *     ch.write("Did you say '" + msg + "'?\n");
