* {@code ByteBuffer.allocate(8).putLong(value).array()}. For example, the input value {@code
   * 0x1213141516171819L} would yield the byte array {@code {0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x16, 0x17,

   * <p>If you need to convert and concatenate several values (possibly even of different types),
   * use a shared {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer} instance, or use {@link
