/// For maximum flexibility this trait works with RAW MIDI messages. This means that status bytes
/// and end of SysEx (EOX) bytes are included in the input, and should also be included in the
/// output. A consequence of this is that it is also possible to support system common and system
/// real time messages as needed, as long as the plugin API supports those.
///
/// For example, the message to turn general MIDI mode on is `[0xf0, 0x7e, 0x7f, 0x09, 0x01, 0xf7]`,
/// and has a length of 6 bytes. Note that this includes the `0xf0` start byte and `0xf7` end byte.
