This is the same as it's implemented in ClickHouse. In fact, it has two formats: `Protobuf` (with length-delimited messages) and `ProtobufSingle` (no delimiters, but only a single message can be read/written). And it is fairly common:

Conforming implementations will fail to interoperate with their “protobuf” serialization; it’s absolutely incorrect for them to call their length-prefixed framing protobuf.
