This class defines magic numbers taken from RFC1951 [1b], and also
possibly RFC1950 [1a] & RFC1952 [1c].
It presets some dictionary structures as described at [1a] 8.1.
A class can import these bindings as 'class variables' by including the
following in its class definition:
poolDictionaries: 'ZipFileConstants'
Following are source references to these constants contained within
several class side initialization methods.
(These might be better spread through out those methods as time permits)
