Add sample encoders #50
Description
Perhaps these could be included in an examples module.
Well-known encoders I'd like to produce examples for:
- Base64
- Base64, URL-safe variant
- Ascii85
- Base85 (revised version of Ascii85 conforming to RFC 1924)
- Z85 (ZeroMQ version of Ascii85)
- Base91
- Base32
- Base16 (maybe too easy?)
- Base36
- Base58
With the exception of the base-85 schemes (which perform some additional kind of run-length encoding on certain output patterns, all of these should be rather trivial to implement as subclasses, and might serve as more helpful documentation and proof-of-concept to potential users.
Regarding the output transformation of the Ascii85 variants, it might be worth holding off until issue #27 is done (the pre-processing and post-processing ideas would be very helpful for such a scheme as Ascii85).
