In this issue I would really like to aim for Mercurial/git-like
behaviour: i.e. no special shortcuts, and no armoring ('<~' and '~>').
Also, the base85 alphabet used by Mercurial and git may be different, I
haven't checked.
(by the way, it seems "btoa" has been dead for a long time, I don't
think it's useful as a reference here)
