No.  PB doesn't have any facility like that (nor for per-message compression).  It tries to abstract the wire as much as possible; its communication model is between objects witth methods, not byte streams or message processors.

You could probably add a type-byte to jelly to do something like this but I certainly don't have the motivation personally :).  Patches accepted...
