Comment(by leif):
Much room for extensions, e.g.: ;-)
* accept (also) list of symbols of arbitrary alphabet
(type should be checked anyway)
* binary file (stream) I/O..., with or without encoding table
* '''generate''' encoding/decoding functions
There's actually a possible application within Sage itself: compression of
prime_pi and nth_prime tables. (The table-based functions are still work
in progress.)
OT:
- I could perhaps contribute FAX G3 en/decoding, too, if I'm able to find
my dead old implementation... :)
- Another nice thing is encoding and decoding of machine instructions
(assembling, disassembling).
