/**
 * Encodes an array of any type into a compact string representation.
 * @param obj - The array to encode.
 * @returns The encoded string representation of the array.
 * @remarks
 * The encoding scheme uses specific prefixes to denote the type of each element:
 * - single-character prefixes for constants:
 * - 'n' for null
 * - 'f' for false
 * - 't' for true
 * - 'u' for undefined
 * - multi-character prefixes for strings, objects, and numbers:
 * - [prefix] + [value] : where [prefix] is determined by the type and length of the value:
 * - a-f: numbers in decimal (1-5 for length)
 * - A-E: numbers in base36 (1-5 for length)
 * - V-Z: strings (1-5 for length)
 * - v-z: objects (1-5 for length)
 * The length of the value is encoded in base36 to minimize the size of the resulting string.
 * Hence, the maximum length for strings and objects is 60466175 characters (36^5 - 1). An error is thrown if this limit is exceeded (if occurred).
 * Numbers are unlikely to exceed the length limit due to their nature.
 * If number can be represented in base36 with fewer characters than in decimal, base36 encoding is used.
 * sample encoding:
 * - true -> 't'
 * - 123 -> 'b3f' (decimal, length 3)
 * - 46655 -> 'B3zzz' (base36, length 3)
 * - "hello" -> 'V5hello' (string, length 5)
 * - { "a": 1 } -> 'v5{"a":1}' (object, length 7) (if safer is false and no undefined properties)
