Motivation: A server sends data packages that consist of multiple serialized capnproto messages of different structures. Every message is guaranteed to have the same first field, which works as a message header containing information about the message structure type. The scheme comprises the `UnknownMessage` structure that allows parsing the header only. Solution: provide a public interface that iterates buffer with AnyPointer readers to cast a message to `UnknownMessage` first and then to a specific structure type.
