-      TODO: <a href="https://golang.org/cl/299531">https://golang.org/cl/299531</a>: limit bytes read by Uvarint to &lt;= 10
+      <code>binary.Uvarint</code> will stop reading after <code>10 bytes</code> to avoid
+      wasted computations. If more than <code>10 bytes</code> are needed, the byte count returned is <code>-11</code>.
+      <br />
+      Previous Go versions could return larger negative counts when reading incorrectly encoded varints.
