-- Natools.Smaz_Generic provides a generic implementation of the Smaz       --
-- algorithm, leaving encoding and decoding to the formal subprograms.      --
-- This factors all the logic common to standard byte-based Smaz, the       --
-- the base-64 variant, and the base-4096 variant.                          --
--                                                                          --
-- WARNING: an important assumption that is not checked/asserted, is that   --
-- it is never preferable to use verbatim encoding rather than a code,      --
-- except when merging to verbatim sections and the code between them. This --
-- means in particular that a dictionary must never contain an entry        --
-- shorter than its encoded counterpart.                                    --
