-- Natools.Smaz is a re-implementation of the short string compression --
-- algorithm "Smaz" by Salvatore Sanfilippo --
-- (see https://github.com/antirez/smaz). --
-- Its main selling point is its simplicity and CPU performance. However --
-- the implementation here emphasizes correctness (which greatly benefits --
-- from simplicity) over performance (so no benchmarks have been made). --
-- --
-- The basic idea behind the algorithm is that bytes in the encoded (and --
-- hopefully compressed) message are indexes in a static compiled-in --
-- dictionary, and two special byte values to mark verbatim data. --
-- --
-- For example, using original Smaz dictionary, the string "Athe33" is --
-- encoded as (254, 65, 1, 255, 1, 51, 51), which can be broken down as: --
-- * 254 to mark the following byte as verbatim --
-- * 65 which is verbatim byte for 'A' --
-- * 1 to mark the second word in the dictionary: "the" --
-- * 255 to mark variable-length verbatim escape --
-- * 1 to encoding the length of the verbatim fragment: 2 bytes --
-- * 51, 51 the verbatim bytes for "33". --
-- --
-- Note that the encoder has been improved over the original Smaz encoder, --
-- in that it merges adjacent verbatim fragments when it makes the output --
-- smaller. For example, with the input 5-byte string "33 33", the original --
-- naive encoder would produce the 9-byte output --
-- (255, 1, 51, 51, 0, 255, 1, 51, 51), while encoder here would encode the --
-- whole string in a single verbatim fragment, leading to the 7-byte output --
-- (255, 4, 51, 51, 32, 51, 51). --
